NOTICE OF P&C MEETING
Monday 12th August Time: 7:00pm
Venue: Resource Centre
Everyone welcome. Tea and coffee available.
Welcome Back!
Welcome back to Term 3! So many exciting events happening this term!
Plastic Free July
As a part of Plastic Free July, we have been very lucky in our P&C obtaining a grant to fund
Anthony Hill from Plastic Pollution Solutions to come to our school and present to our
students! On Friday our whole school will be timetabled to attend sessions based around
learning about plastic pollution, how we can reduce our use of plastics and also for our upper
school students, conscious consumption. There will be no Parade on Friday of Week 1 due to
the presentations.
Litter-less Lunch – Week 2
To coincide with Plastic Free July, we will be encouraging ‘litter-less’ lunches in week 2 of this
term. We are encouraging making a conscious choice about how we can make our lunches
and what we consume more environmentally friendly. By using containers or wraps, such as
reusable beeswax wraps or waxed paper wraps, we can reduce the amount of plastic waste
going to landfill. In week 2 we will be trialling removing our general litter bins from around
the school and having students bring home in their lunchbox, any of their lunch litter that
cannot be composted or recycled. We will be collecting and auditing all of our Tuckshop litter
throughout the course of this week to see how we as a school can improve our practices. We
appreciate your support as we trial this for week 2 and see how much we can reduce our
waste as a school!
The school would like to acknowledge and thank Katie Knickel and Dan Cordner for their
successful submission for the grant and also Katie’s continue support to organise our Plastic
Free July events.
Big Thank-You to Amber from Verde for kindly donating Beeswax wraps, stainless steel
straws and bamboo toothbrushes that will be used as prizes and incentives.
Country Fair – 17th August
With Country Fair fast approaching, we are running a
soft drink/bottled water drive to raise funds for our
Year 6 Graduation. We kindly ask, only if you are able,
to donate what you can to support our school. Any
donations of soft drink cans or bottles of water can be
dropped to the front office.

Principal

Instrumental Music
Lessons for all instrumental music students will commence this week. It is very important that students bring their
instruments every week for their lesson. The Ingham Arts Festival is in Week 6 this term. If your child is performing a
solo at the Arts Festival, please ensure that you are encouraging your child to practice regularly at home. Mrs Wright will
work with the Violin students this week to select songs to play at the Festival.
On Friday 2 August we will have a visiting string group from Townsville visiting us and working with some of the string
students here at the school. They will also be giving us a concert which is very exciting.
Ingham Arts Festival
The Ingham Arts Festival preliminary program is now available to view online at www.inghamartsfestival.org.au.
Other information regarding this year’s competition will also be available through the ‘Ingham Arts Festival Inc.’
Facebook page.
Any students who are interested in entering art, craft and photography sections of this year’s Ingham Arts Festival will
need to return the nomination letter with their $5.00 nomination fee for each section entered to the office by Friday 26
July. Please see the office if you are requiring a copy of this nomination letter.
The completed art works will need to be handed in to Mrs Gunston on Monday 12 August.If you have any questions regarding the Ingham Arts Festival, please see Mrs Gunston.
ILLNESS AND INJURIES
If your student is sick, please keep him/her at home. Please consider your child’s well-being as the school has
limited facilities and personnel to care for sick children. If your child becomes sick at school, the parent or
emergency contact as detailed on the enrolment form will be contacted and asked to collect and sign out the
student and take them home.
Please make sure student information is kept up to date so parents may be contacted if your child is ill or an
emergency occurs. School policy is that the parent/guardian/carer will be contacted in the first instance, however if
necessary the school will make a decision to call 000 for an ambulance.

This will lead into the school’s swimming carnival in Term 4. The cost of the 7 lessons will be $40, which will cover the swimming instructors and entry fee to the pool.Before the first swim lesson begins, the total amount for all the lessons must be paid to the office. No students this year will be bringing money to their class teacher on a weekly basis. A permission form with more details will be handed out early this term along with a timetable.

P&C HappeningsTerm 3 and another busy term for our P&C committee! This term our focus is on our Country
Fair coming up on 17th August – just one month away! Our fundraising co-ordinators, Trudie
and Nicole, have been working behind the scenes for quite a while now, and everything is
running well. Soon we will ask for your assistance to make this night a success.
Firstly, keep the date free! The students will be performing dances on the night, and there
will be yummy food, drink, entertainment and rides so it is sure to be lots of fun for the
family.
Keep an eye out for a more detailed note regarding the Country Fair and where you can help
out in the lead up and on the night. The next meeting for planning of the Country Fair is next
Wednesday 24th July at 7pm in the staff room at the front of the school. Everyone is
welcome.
We would like to find a co-ordinator for the softdrink stall for the night. This will be run by
Year 6 students and profits will be going towards graduation, so it would be great if a Year 6
parent or parent team could get involved. However any volunteer is welcome. Let a
member of the P&C team know, or contact the office.
Aside from the Fair, the P&C is excited to be supporting our school in our move to reduce the
amount of rubbish we produce. This week the school will undergo a waste audit. From there
the P&C team look forward to working with our school and students and hearing ideas on
how we can help our tuckshop move towards reducing the amount of waste it produces.
Thank you to Katie Knickel for her continued work behind the scenes on this, as well as the
supportive and proactive admin and teachers we have at Ingham State School.
Our next P&C meeting is 12th August at 7pm in the Resource Centre. It has been great to see
new faces recently! Everyone is welcome to come along.
