What the P&C Does?

Schools have their own budgets —but invariably they need more than the budget allows. That’s where the parent committee becomes a really valuable partner.

All money raised by the P&C committee must be used for the benefit of the school. But as a member, you get to vote on how funds are used—and ultimately, that can only benefit your child too.

Donna has been on the steering committee for WVPS and is truly passionate about this school being one of the best.

With assisting the school with fund raising and community engagement this becomes possible.

Georgia is our lists and logistics lover – as a travel agent pre-covid, and now a massage therapist with her own business – she’s always got a plan on the go. She’s got a spreadsheet for just about everything, and loves a good project – whether a marketing campaign or a birthday party for her daughters!

Georgia was a part of the steering committee for WVPS, and enjoys playing an active role in the community – serving on the 7 day makeover team and networking with our local small businesses for the Mother’s Day pamphlet and donations given and yet to come.
She’s excited to build community relationships and kick off the P&C as a welcoming and approachable initiative, with an open door policy.

She believes wholeheartedly that all children should be afforded equal opportunities to excel at school, and is excited to be a part of the P&C to ensure those opportunities are made possible to each and every student.

She is equally proud of her integrity, her dedication towards following rules, her time-management skills and her ability to pay attention to fine details.

Fundraising goals and progress

11th May 2023
P&C had great fun organising our first ever Mother’s Day raffle. Our mission of creating a connected and inclusive community was well established. We love that this raffle enabled our school to connect to the Wellard Village business community, and we thank them for all of their donations. It was also fabulous as all students had an ability to enter, through a colouring competition.

15th June 2023
It was a successfull DAY at the Cross Country/Bake sale event. We had our professional bakers, amateur bakers, stall holders, staff, Meher from Espresso On The Go, cinnamon bun collectors, and EVERY SINGLE CUSTOMER who bought and supported your school’s P&C yesterday – you’ve all contributed to the support and growth of WVPS 🧡💛We learned a lot in reflection on the day about what worked well and what we should change for next time. Please email us on wellardvillagepandc@gmail.com. We would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions.
