We are not your average P&C
Sure, there are
meetings and minutes and home baked muffins. But, the MGESS P&C work hard
to provide rich engagement for the school community and to raise money to
support programs and resources at the school.
We have a vision to
build a village around the children and families of Mount Gravatt East State
School and are driven by the opportunity to have meaningful impact with
exciting plans for 2020 and beyond!
We are:
- Parents and
grandparents from the school and local community.
- Dedicated
professionals and everyday parents who can donate some time to help in the
school.
- People who work
together and fulfil roles as the President, Vice-President, Secretary,
Treasurer and committee members.
- People who come together to discuss the issues that are important to our school and solve problems as a community.
We raise funds and provide engagement through:
- Running the uniform
shop.
- Organise fundraising
events like Family Fun Day and Bush Dances.
- Host internal
fundraisers for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Sports Day etc.
- Work with community
partners to build a village around the students of MGESS.
The money we raise has helped purchase:
- shade structures
- computers in the
school
- subsidise the school
marching band
- interactive
whiteboards in classrooms
- air-conditioning
throughout the school
- ceiling fans in the
hall
- subsidised excursions
to cultural and sporting events.
Joining the P&C is
the best way to get across what is happening at the school.
Parents,
grandparents, neighbours and community members are welcome to join anytime.
Simply fill out the membership form
and drop it into the school, or email to the P&C.
Early each year a
calendar of events is distributed, we encourage you to save the dates and
invite you to volunteer at P+C events and engagements. Turn a sausage here,
help install furniture there; each small contribution has a massive impact.
