2.2 GCBF submission update
The next round for the GCBF closes on the 30th November. In order to submit a new application, the P&F needs to include relevant quotes for the requested funding.

Action: Sharon Sang to provide a quote for the new choir risers. Paul Drewniak to finalise quotes for installation of airconditioners to Prep and the covered walkway.
2.3 Proposal for new PA & Music System
Alex Langguth attended the meeting and presented a quote for a new PA and Music system for the school. The quote is as follows:

Alex Langguth suggested it would be worthwhile upgrading to better quality microphones at an additional cost of $300. The cost of an outside speaker and stand would be an additional $1045.
Alex offered to bring the outside speaker to the school for a demonstration.
Currently outside speakers are hired from BJs Hire at a cost of $500.
Peter Chester said it is necessary to obtain another quote for the supply of the sound equipment for due diligence. Paul Drewniak said he would obtain a quote from the original sound system installer, as a comparison.
Tony Artuso said he would contact BJ’s Hire and obtain a quote from them for the hire of necessary equipment for MADD.

  1. Fundraising

5.1 Student Disco
The P&F would like to thank Celia Mason and her team of volunteers for organizing a very successful disco. It was a great event which was thoroughly enjoyed by all the children who attended. The disco raised $2071.20, which was a fantastic result.
5.2 Father’s Night
Overall it was a very successful evening with over 40 fathers attending the Barefoot Bowls event held at Windsor Bowls club. Many new parents from Prep attended, which was great. A profit of $120 was made. The P&F would like to thank Mary-Therese Brady for all her hard work organizing such a great evening.
5.3 Father’s Day Stall
Mariska Intellisano reported that over 288 gifts were sold on the day. There is leftover packaging and approximately 30 gifts remaining. A loss of $134 was incurred but as was noted at the meeting the purpose of the stall is to celebrate Father’s Day, not to fundraise. The P&F would like to thank Mariska for the wonderful job she did organizing the stall and wrapping so many presents.
5.4 Father’s Day Breakfast
Tony Artuso said that there was a great response to the breakfast, with over half the fathers from school attending the breakfast. The P&F would like to thank Irene Elder, Jamie Small and Tony Artuso for organizing the breakfast.
5.5 Election Day BBQ and Cake Stall
The Election Day BBQ and Cake Stall was a great successful, raising over $2,800. The P&F would like to thank Natalie Finney, Tony Artuso and Toni Williamson and all the volunteers who helped on the day and baked for the cake stall.
.
5.6. M.A.D.D.
Paul Drewniak said that the event is being advertised during assembly. Classes are currently working on their collaborative art pieces. Jeanine Fenton investigated hiring Snowed Under to provide a snow cone and fairy floss stall, the main benefit being the potential of a travel voucher that could be used for the raffle. After discussing the details with Snowed Under however it was apparent that there was a risk that the stall could end up costing money and that the value of the travel voucher was limited given that the recipient had to purchase breakfast and dinner at the hotel in order to secure a free night’s accommodation.
Other items discussed were:
  • Set up to occur on Saturday 9th November
  • Tony Artuso to contact Westpac and ask if they can use their BBQ
  • Should we arrange for pizza to be delivered mid-afternoon?
  • Tony Artuso said he has arranged for cakes to be donated for the Devonshire tea stall, however they may contain nuts
  • A site map needs to be drawn that details power requirements, marquis etc.
  • Catering numbers are estimated to be 500
  • Toni Williamson will contact Gary Stickley regarding borrowing bar items
  • Mini cheese platters may be provided
  • Tony Artuso will organize the hire of a cold room to store meat, drinks and ice
  • Marita Artuso is investigating the hire of a band
It was agreed that the following stalls would be organized by the P&F:
  • Barbeque: to sell sausages in bread and steak sandwiches. Convener is Steve Rowley
  • Lollies, Chips & Drinks: Conveners are Sharlene Hamblin & Jeanine Fenton
  • Dippin' Dots: Jeanine Fenton to contact and organize booking
  • Devonshire Tea: Sell cakes sourced by Tony Artuso and tea and coffee, and additional items decided by Sharon. Convener is Sharon Vogel.
