Containers for Change
Remember that this year our stewardship committee has started a containers for change initiative. The proceeds will be spent improving our school environment. This will initially include our vegetable patches in Chestnut Street playground. If you are interested in helping us by saving your bottles and distributing them at containers for change then please choose us as your charity. Please use the QR code below.
Thank you.

Drop off and pick up zone volunteers
Thank you to those parents who have already so generously volunteered their time in the pick up zones. We truly appreciate your help.
We would love parent helpers in pick up zones this year. Pick up zones operate from 8:00am – 8:25am in the morning and from 2:55pm – 3:20pm in the afternoons. It's an easy 25 mins, opening car doors, helping little people in and out of cars.
If you can spare 20-30 minutes once or twice a week please email Jenny Druce at jdruce@bne.catholic.edu.au with your preferred day, time and campus.
A friendly reminder, before commencing your role as a volunteer or other personnel at our school, you are required to complete the online volunteer training. This training needs to be renewed annually and can be found here: https://www.bne.catholic.edu.au/students-parents/student-protection/Pages/Student-Protection-and-Code-of-Conduct-Training-for-Volunteers-and-Other-Personnel.aspx
You will need to download, print and complete your registration form, which is contained within your online training. Return it to the School Office prior to commencing your role.

From the P&F
Thanks to the 2022/23 Exec and call out for support...
The P&F AGM was held on Tuesday 10 October on the Mount Carmel Campus. The following 2023/24 Executive appointments were made: President - Joe McDavitt, Vice President - Kylie Culwick. The roles of Treasurer and Secretary were vacant.
The P&F would appreciate support from any parent who would be interested in taking on either of these roles. The role of the Secretary is to support the Executive Committee and take minutes at meetings, clear mail (email and physical) and manage agendas. The role of the Treasurer is to keep accurate financial records, pay accounts and bank money, report on the financial position of the P&F and organise the annual audit. Existing processes are in place for both roles and while prior similar experience would be helpful, the only real qualification for either role is commitment to support the school.
If you are interested in either role, please contact Joe McDavitt on joemcdavitt03@gmail.com.
