Community Council Corner
This month’s Community Council meeting was dominated by enthusiasm for Sunday’s Jump Fest event. 
We reached our goal of $2500 raised for Jariah Education in Kenya which will go to buying a water tank for the school children. We were also happy to hear reports that it was a successful event enjoyed by all and well-stocked with eager volunteers. The water slide castle and cake stall were firm favourites and we are sure this won’t be the last time we host a family picnic-style event out on the oval.
The Council also reports that we have used some of the proceeds of our fundraising efforts this year to purchase two new robotics kits which will be beneficial in promoting the uptake of STEM based skills and allow students to further explore coding.
We were also happy to hear that the newly expanded sustainability group, responsible for the Greenhouse, is enjoying the challenge and already implementing new processes to ensure its longterm success.
Our thoughts are now turning to Christmas, with planning underway for our annual Christmas Carols event, and even the new year with discussion of the best way to welcome new parents to the school in 2020. As always, volunteers are most welcome – whether they be parents, grandparents, uncles or aunts! Please let us know if you’re keen to be involved and we will find you a job! Also, feel free to catch one of us at drop off or pick up or email through to us at council.stmichaelsps@cg.catholic.edu.au.
