P&C MEMBERSHIP
BATTERY RECYCLING
An easy way you can help with P&C
fundraising is to drop off your old car/truck/
tractor ba-eries to one of our drop-off points.
Please be aware that membership is needed to raise any
ma-er with the P&C and to have a say in the alloca;on of
funds.
**Please note that the drop off point for your old
ba-eries is now Farview Tyres.
All P&C memberships lapsed during the AGM in March.
Anyone who did not send in their form is now no longer a
member.
Shade trees
Mr Robinson is hoping early next year to
get some shade trees planted along the boundary
fence to provide some shade on sports days.
The P&C may be involved in funding this if
necessary.
If you would like to be have a voice on P&C ma-ers, you will
need to become a member – but don’t worry – being a
member doesn’t mean you are obligated to come to
mee;ngs or help out. Being a P&C Member does allow you
to vote on how P&C funds are used to invest in our kids’
educa;on.
Our P&C would love to have new families become
members, plus any of those exis;ng families that have just
been too shy to join.
Also, please be aware, P&C membership is FREE!
PLEASE NOTE: AT ANY GENERAL MEETING (ONE THAT IS
NOT AN AGM) YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO BE PRESENT AT A
MEETING TO BE ACCEPTED AS A MEMBER.

FACEBOOK
The P&C have a Facebook “group” so the Coningsby P&C can communicate with parents and carers of children at
Coningsby State School.
Upcoming socials and fundraising events, minutes, newsle-ers, and anything else we can think of will be posted on
the facebook group’s page. Discussion and ideas are welcome.
The group is a “secret” group, meaning that noone outside the group can see the group, who is in it, or what is posted there. If you’d like to join our growing group, please email leannebenson-school@keytoit.com.au, so I can send
you an invite.
You don’t have to be facebook friends to join the group, and you can leave the group at any ;me.
