There is a land release on this weekend and already people are camping to be first in line to secure their chosen block of land. And, they are mainly sleeping in their cars. I think this amazing. What is great is they get to meet their future neighbours and make friends before they event move here.

Volunteers rock

I attended the John Palmer Public School P & C meeting last night and so appreciate the parents who are willing to give of their time and talents. The secretary of the P & C does not even have any childen in the school yet, but still takes an interest and not just comes to meetings but also helps at events. Volunteers are great. We are looking for volunteers to help with up coming events. If you would like to help, contact me via The Pond Community Website, Contact Us.

New P & C at John Palmer Public School

John Palmer Public School, The Ponds, has a P & C. Their first meeting was on 5th March and they will be meeting at the school on the first Wednesday of the month. The items of business discussed included the design of a logo for the John Palmer P & C Committee, P & C Sponsorship opportunities, safety issues in the school drop-off and parking zone, P & C fundraising initiatives including Easter and Mother’s Day fundraising and the development of a standard sponsorship letter. The Ponds Community Development Programme will sponsor the initial set up costs which include registration, affiliation and insurance fees.
The school has 45 students and with 10 parents present at the meeting, that shows a very commendable involvement from them. It was great to see the interest and commitment these parents have to the school community.
