CALL FOR 2015 JSP&F SUB-COMMITTEE AND CLASS PARENTS

Hi everyone The All Saints’ Junior School P&F Sub Committee (JSP&F) is calling for nominations for its 2015 Committee, and class parent group. 2015 COMMITTEE The 2015 JSP&F will be made up of three positions. All three positions are vacant for 2015:

1. Chairperson – responsible for managing JSP&F meetings, coordinating the committee’s fundraising activities, and representing the JSP&F at the Whole School P&F meetings.

2. Financial Officer – responsible for tracking money raised through fundraising activities and money spent on the Junior School, counting fundraising money with the Whole School P&F Treasurer, and reporting to JSP&F meetings on the JSP&F’s current financial position.

3. Class Parent Co-ordinator – responsible for liaising between class parents and the committee, to help get messages to all parents within the Junior School for fundraising activities and events.

2015 CLASS PARENTS What does a Class Parent need to do? COMMUNICATE WITH PARENTS Help the JSP&F to get messages out to the parents in your class. For example, when we

put the call out for cakes and slices, and to help on canteens and with other fundraising activities.

Create a ‘class contact list’ that includes children’s names, parent names, phone numbers, emails, etc, and distribute the list to parents in your class.

Answer any questions that parents have about fundraising activities and events, and/or pass these questions on to the JSP&F.

ATTEND JSP&F MEETINGS Attend JSP&F meetings to keep up to date with fundraising activities, and pass this

information on to parents in your class. Pass any ideas or feedback from parents on to the JSP&F. What if there is more than one class parent? It is wonderful if you have more than one class parent so you can share the load. If you are able to, it’s a great idea to have a chat with your other class parents about what you can and can’t do – just to keep them informed about what you are doing and to make sure you are across what they are doing.

NOMINATIONS If you would like to nominate for one of these positions, please complete the attached and return it to Leonie Keogh in the Junior School office. Thank you. JSP&F Sub Committee
