THANK YOU BUNNINGS
On the 29 July, Bunnings came to Rm 11 and Rm 8 to build tool boxes with us.
Bunnings gave us step-by-step instructions on how to design our tool-boxes.
We used crafting-glue, six sections of wood, nails and a hammer to create our
boxes. We added glue to a few of the sides and then we knocked the nails into
place.
After we pounded on our hammers for an aching 40 minutes, the boxes were
ready for painting. After we had finished our tool boxes, we painted them. The
Bunning‘s ladies slopped paint onto our small plates and we shared the tray
with the person next to us. Different patterns and designs appeared on the
owner‘s tool boxes in just a few minutes.
Eventually it was time for the Bunning‘s people to leave. They grabbed their paints, aprons and extra-wood pieces and
headed out the door.
We really enjoyed our woodwork project and would like to thank Bunnings for providing all of the wood and equipment.

Parents &Citizens News
The P&C is the School parents‘ organisation through which you have an opportunity to have a say, contribute and
take part in the activities of the school. The P&C is actively involved in providing support for improving the school's
physical and learning environment.
The P&C meets once per month each during the school term - the times vary from evening to afternoon, to allow as
many parents as possible to attend. Membership to the P&C is 50 cents which allows you to vote on any business or
motions the P&C puts to a vote. If you don't wish to be a member, you can still come along and contribute and hear
what's happening in the school. Everyone is welcome to all meetings. Look at the school website to find out the dates
and times.
Next P&C meeting dates – all welcome!!
Tuesday 9 August – 7pm in the staffroom
(note 7pm start, not 7.30pm)
Thursday 15 September 2-3pm in the staffroom

The new shade sail is here!
The shade sails are an initiative of the P&C, organised by the P&C, funded by the P&C. This is a great enhancement
to the school and the P&C appreciates the donations of parents who have paid voluntary contributions to make this
possible. If you haven't made your voluntary P&C contribution ($40 per child) for 2016 yet you can make a direct
deposit:
Account name: Shelley Primary School P&C Association
BSB: 066 164 Account: 10037944
Please include the surname/year of your youngest child so a receipt can be issued.
The P&C has been requested to provide additional funding, for some items the students can use during the day in the
new shade sail area. Some ideas suggested include moveable seating (eg bean bags) and games for those students
who would like to read or play games. Come and find out more at the next P&C meeting.

WACSSO State Conference—Registrations have now closed

Naturescape Playground
Progress is being made as a number of P&C members and teachers are getting together to develop a plan of action
including what works, what doesn‘t, what‘s needed in the design, talking to landscape designers and more. It‘s
important that whatever is constructed is something that will interest the students and that it will be something they get
value and enjoyment out of and make good use of. If you are interested in being part of this planning group the P&C
would love to hear from you – shelleyprimarypandc@hotmail.com

Class Reps want to get in touch with all parents
If you are receiving news from your class rep you have obviously given your contact details to them. But some reps
have only half the parents contact details, so there are a lot of parents who are not getting information about things
going on in the classroom, about things needed by the teachers, about P&C activities and more. Ask your friends in
your classroom if they have provided details to the class reps and anything you can do to encourage them to do so
would be greatly appreciated. We have half a year to go so still lots happening around the school that they can be part
of if they get the information.

Fundraising
Shelley Primary School has been fortunate to have raised funds to spend on big projects like the shade sails, roller
doors, the bike shed, library enhancement. These are also part of the legacy of many past Shelley families who have
contributed to the school through voluntary contributions and fundraising. Fundraising also helps with smaller projects
like the purchase of much wanted new readers, resources for classrooms, awards and prizes. We are now looking to
raise funds again as we are building a new naturescape playground, purchasing more musical instruments and more.

Do you have a fundraising idea?
Do you have some time and energy to run a fundraising project – organise an event or other way of raising
money for projects around the school?
If you do, we hope you will come along to the P&C meetings, or email us: shelleyprimarypandc@hotmail.com
