P&C AGM: Tuesday, 18 February, 2020

The YSS P&C Executive team invites all parents, carers, staff and members of our school community to the 2020 P&C AGM on Tuesday, 18 February, at 6:00pm, in the school Resource Centre (library). At the AGM we will review and celebrate our community's achievements for 2019, vote in the Executive team for 2020, and outline key areas of activity for the coming year.

For information on P&C Executive and other committee positions see the 'P&C Committee roles' page on the P&C website. Please email us at yerongasspandc@gmail.com if you are interested in taking on a more active role in the P&C but would like more information about available roles and responsibilities.  

All nominations for executive positions should be received in writing prior to the AGM, via the P&C Executive Officer Nomination Form - please email your completed form to yerongasspandc@gmail.com.

The 2020 AGM will be followed by our first general meeting of the year. P&C meetings are held the third Tuesday of the month (except December, January, and during school holidays) at 7:00pm in the school Resource Centre (library).

2020 P&C membership

All 2019 P&C memberships will lapse at the AGM. Please take a moment (less than a minute, we promise!) to sign up as a P&C member for 2020 at www.bit.ly/2020ysspandcmembership. 

Your membership is a great support to the school through the P&C, and is the best way to ensure you receive our P&C news and communications throughout the year. It also gives you the power to vote at our AGM and general monthly meetings. While we encourage all members to attend meetings if they can, there is absolutely no obligation as we understand how busy life is with children. Your membership will help us with grant applications and allows us to keep you updated with copies of monthly minutes (a key source of news and information for our community).
