Dear Parents and Carers
Given I have only recently been elected President, I thought I would take the opportunity to introduce myself, tell you what I have observed, and invite all parents to consider joining the P&C and have their say about how they would like the P&C to support their children, and the school. Here is a link, if you would like to join: https: //forms.gle/PiKnpyHM5guYAiaZA
My two children, twins, are in Year 11. They have thrived at the school, they have been incredibly well supported by the teaching and support staff, and they have embraced the opportunity to take part in many of the extra-curricular activities that NHSPA offers.
It’s a great time to take on this responsibility. The school has a new principal, Dr Susan Green, who is both ambitious for, and supportive of, the students and staff.
We have a P&C that the previous President, Marina Pieri, has left in very good shape. Meg, Belinda, Paul, and Simone bring energy, creativity, and experience to their positions on the P&C Executive. The very successful Showcase cafes and second-hand uniform shop continue to raise valuable revenue for the benefit of the school.
I have also observed just what a wide range of relevant expertise parents bring to the P&C. So much ability and talent, and a willingness to offer that ability and talent for the benefit of the school.
That brings me to my goals for the P&C while I am president. First, I want to harness all of the talent I see amongst the parents of the school. I would love to see all parents join the P&C, and I would love to increase opportunities for all to participate in the P&C, for the benefit of all our children.
I am also part of a sub-committee that will set up a tax deductible, School Building Fund for the school. I hope that together we can create and grow a building fund which offers an opportunity for the P&C to contribute to facilities which support NHSPA’s position as the leading performing arts school in New South Wales.
I would love to see all children at the school benefit from the creative energy and collaboration which is at the heart of the school, and believe that we can help with that.
I want to cement our place as a trusted support and sounding board for the dedicated teachers and support staff of NHSPA.
I am interested to hear everybody’s ideas about how the P&C can contribute to the success of the school, and invite any member of the school community to email me through the NHSPA email address with their thoughts, queries, and suggestions.
