Debit card for Canteen Supervisor

Boris Baraldi 17/11/15 Decision held over from 20/10/15 meeting to have a policy and contract to address concerns of the P&C. Unanimous decision carried by the P&C to adopt the set up of a debit card to be used by the canteen supervisor to purchase provisions. Moved by Boris and seconded by Kelley Ryan. Boris and Yensina to follow up what is required for debit card from Bendigo Bank.

Discuss & review roles within the canteen committee

Boris Baraldi 17/11/15 P&C Agreed to remove reference of “School Staff “ being on the Canteen Committee due to lack of availability. SRC involvement should be to get feedback on ideas etc rather than them sit in on committee meetings unless there is a need to for a particular topic. President expressed concerns around the lack of involvement in volunteering at the Canteen and lack of numbers to form a canteen sub-committee during the AGM. Consensus that a Canteen sub-committee is not essential but would be beneficial.

Great leadership from both Ronda Moon and Sonia Noakes in KH’s absence Amanda Heath has done some fabulous teaching relieving for Ronda Amanda Heath will stay till the end of year and Ronda will take on an assistant principal role to help prepare fo

r audits which are planned for December.

Rachel Coroneos

Term 1 - 2016

Cut off times for lunch orders – reinforce getting orders in. No child can be sent away without food. Even if it only a vegemite sandwich. Look at cut off times for hot food? The new time frames will impact on the preparation of hot food in the canteen.

Boris Baraldi Early December

Boris suggested a suitable gift to be presented for volunteers as they leave the school. Initial thoughts were a bunch of flowers. Other suggestions made were for president to write individual letter to each volunteer acknowledging their efforts and contribution, to recognise them in school newsletter and a certificate of thanks from the P&C. Committee adopted the latter. Passed unanimously.
