PRINCIPAL’S REPORT:

Sue gave a overhead presentation on the draft plans proposed for our New St Kevin’s Car Park and in-depth plans of the Proposed Multipurpose Centre.  Thirty Five additional car parks will be included and if was agreed that the layout is more usable.  The Multipurpose Centre will stand at least 10 to 11 meters. The Government has provided 3.4 million for this project whilst St Kevin’s will borrow around $600,000. 

Sue also got the parents attending to write down their ideas on what will happen with pick up and drop off whilst construction of the new car park is happening.  Construction is due to start next term with completion of car park and multipurpose centre within two years. 

Pick up points suggested: Collins Cres, All Church, St Kevin’s Ave.

Later starting and finishing times were also suggested to cope with heavy traffic around the school at these times.  Car pooling and walking children to designated pick up zones was also suggested. 

Plans of both Car park and Multipurpose Centre can be viewed on our website and at the front office.         Moved: Sue    Seconded: Susan

GENERAL BUSINESS – AGENDA ITEMS:

Mothers Day Dinner

The P & F would like to thank all those involved in our recent Mothers Day Evening, both those who organized the event and those supporting and attending.  A special thank you goes to Suzy Barber who modeled on the evening. The evening was a very pleasant and enjoyable occasion for all mothers attending. 

Pie Drive

Suzy Barber has kindly volunteered to raise funds for the P & F Association by organizing a Pie Drive. Each family will receive a list of DELICIOUS pies and slices available for purchase.

Orders must be returned by FRIDAY 12 TH JUNE and Big Dad’s will be baking fresh for us on the day of delivery which will be Friday 19th June. Orders will be then dropped off to your child’s classroom so nobody will forget or miss out on their order. All pies are 97% fat free and are very reasonable priced, with $1.50 per pie being donated to the P & F which in turn will go to our children at St Kevin’s.

Many thanks to you Suzy!!!!

 Sports Singlets:

Sue Curtis has approved that the school will provide Half the cost of these singlet’s whilst the P & F Committee have previously agreed to provide funding for other half.

 Uniform Shop News

A new addition to the school uniform will be a rashy to be used for all swimming lessons.

 Year 7 Dinner

Year 7 Dinner  – Collette  Burton – via email as follows:

 “My name is Collette Burton, my daughter Emma is in 7MB and I'm coordinating the year 7 graduation dinner this year along with Lucy Greene.

Unfortunately due to work commitments we are unable to attend the meeting on Mon 18th and ask that you table the following  request so that it can be voted on at the next meeting in June. 

 This year,  as in previous years, grade 7 parents  are seeking funds from the P& F to help cover the cost for the students on the night.   Our request is for $35 per student which would be of enormous benefit to year 7 families in  meeting some of the expense for this traditional "gala" event which marks the end of their school life at St. Kevin's, indeed a very  significant occasion in their life. 

There are 62 students this year so overall request is for $2170.

Thank you for your consideration of this matter and we will definitely attend the evening meeting in June and provide any further information required. “ 

This item was discussed briefly with reference to what has happened in past years regarding the P & F input.  A final decision will be made at the next meeting which will be held on Monday evening 22^nd June at 6pm.

 Sports Uniform Proposal

Wendy Donovan confirmed that Sue Curtis has approved 50% of the cost for the outlay of new sporting singlet’s to be used in several sporting teams and events children from St Kevin’s participate in representing their school. 

The P & F will be would be happy to provide the remaining 50% or no more than $3,000.00.     Moved:  Wendy   Seconded:  Lisa
