Update from our Liaison Officer - Nicole Beresford
Tis the season of Annual Community Meetings and as we mentioned earlier, we have been busy supporting schools to navigate through the process of calling for nominations to the P&F committee and conducting a vote if need be. It's great to see so many P&Fs have full committees going in to 2025. If you have any vacancies on your P&F committee and would like some tips on how to attract Office Bearers, please reach out to us via email support@csp.wa.edu.au or via phone on 9338 9987.
Siobhan and I have recently met with the 'Governance' and 'Finance' Teams at CEWA to liaise on the updated P&F Terms of Reference document and also to clarify some off the financial processes, about which we have received many enquiries this year from P&F Treasurers. As a result we have developed a new tip sheet for Treasurers, which can be viewed here. We hope to have termly meetings with the Finance Team in 2025, so if you have questions please don't hesitate to reach out to us and we will endeavour as always to provide you with appropriate advice.
We are also happy to announce that the P&F email address project is about to be finalised and your school will soon receive correspondence from the Digital Technologies Team about how to set these up at your school. We thank you all for your patience while the team has worked on this throughout the year to ensure that any bugs are sorted out and security is of the highest level.
This term we have also been working on updating some of our existing resources, in addition to developing a range of new ones. I'd like to acknowledge our wonderful Admin Officer Jonelle who has spent many hours working on these. These new resources include information for parents of school leavers and how to use Seqta Engage, in addition to a suite of fact sheets addressing such topics as the school ACM, screen use, times of transition (to kindy, primary and secondary). We have also updated our existing resource on the role of the Class Representative. To view these resources please head to website:
