Week 8 Term 2 

The School Community Council met last Tuesday 18 June.  We were joined by our newly appointed acting Assistant Principal, Gareth Wigg.

As usual, the Council considered a range of issues but the main focus of the meeting was a discussion around uniform.  Lauretta Raccosta provided feedback from parents and as a result the following was decided:

• Following complaints around the difficulty of keeping our white sports tops clean, a mostly maroon sports polo (pictured below) will be introduced - note that the final design will have a white School crest in the top left of the shirt. The polo will only be available in short sleeves but students can wear a white long sleeve top underneath in the cooler weather.  The current white shirts can still be worn by students but once current stock has run out, only the maroon shirt will be for sale as new at the Uniform Shop.

• The Uniform Shop will sell T-shirts in house colours that can be worn for swimming and athletics carnivals and any other designated events. They will not be compulsory, but are provided for parent convenience.
• A new type of wide-brimmed school hat will be phased in that has a toggled drawstring around the head that can be adjusted to ensure it stays on especially while children are running around. Existing hats can continue to be worn and legionnaire caps will continue to be available for sale for parents and students who prefer that style.

Please note also that there will be a meeting of the Social Committee this Thursday 20 June at Lorraine Newnham’s house, starting at 7:30pm.  All interested parents are welcome to attend.  If you can’t make it but would like to help out with any activities run by the Committee, please email the Council inbox at scc.stpandp@gmail.com.
