AGM, done and dusted.

Thank you to everyone who attended last night's Parent Council/Association Annual General Meetings in the Haultain library. It was great to see some new faces - and it was a good way to start off the year.

The Council and Association welcomes our new Vice Chair, Cindy - and the Association thanks Kristie for stepping up again as Fundraising Co-ordinator, Ramona as Volunteer Co-ordinator, Martine as Casino Co-ordinator, and Clair as Treasurer. A big thank you to our new members, and another to the members who are stepping down - in particular to Shane, who did a fantastic job as Chair for a very long time. Thanks also to Steve for his work on the casinos, and to Tracey who did a fantastic job as treasurer.

I was appointed chair in Shane's stead last night, and will do my best to keep things running smoothly - though I have big shoes to fill. Kudos to Shane, who put in years of dedication and hard work on the council.

Minutes from last night's meeting will be available for viewing online shortly, as will the dates of this year's remaining Council and Association meetings (Please check the Google calendar at the bottom of this page). For parents with children new to the school, attending these meetings is a great way to learn about how the school administration works, how the Association raises and  spends money - and it's the very best way to have your say and vote on issues big and small.
