P&F News
Hello to everyone in the St Columba's Community and welcome to the new school year.
Introducing the P&F Committee
For those of you who don't know me, my name is Hayley Mitchell and I am your P&F President for 2023. I am joined by the lovely Gemma Bristow (Vice President), Mathew Smith (Treasurer) and Renee Methorst (Secretary). We are all humbled and honoured to be your P&F committee for 2023. Between us we have 11 kids, we work in completely different industries and are a true example of how the P&F can create new friendships. Side note: Only 1 out of 4 of us is a Freo Supporter.
Our theme this year
Being a Parent/Carer at St Columba's means you are already members of the P&F. Everyone in this community plays an important role and has a valuable contribution to make. We appreciate that everyone is different and we all lead very busy lives. Some of you will become actively involved in the P&F whilst others will support us by attending our social functions or fundraising activities throughout the year. We cannot exist without the contributions of both groups of parents. With that in mind, the P&F are proud to announce our theme for the year:
"To actively promote the physical and mental health and wellbeing of our children".
2023 Class Representatives
We are now looking for our 2023 Class Representatives. The role of the Class Rep is to attend P&F meetings, communicate back to class parents on outcomes of those meetings, work closely with the principal to achieve common goals, plan year or class social gatherings, welcome new families to the school and to assist the P&F committee with any fundraising events or one of the 4 main school events for this year (Mothers Day, Fathers Day, Grandparents Day and the Parents Only Friendraiser). We have an amazing community here at St Columba's filled with friendly and energetic parents who work together to provide amazing opportunities for our children. We strongly encourage you to be involved and look forward to meeting you all.
Please contact myself, your classroom teachers, or email us at pandf@stcolumbassp.wa.edu.au if you would like to take on this role
Community Picnic
You may have already seen some advertising for our first event for the year. Please join us for a community picnic on Sunday, 19 February from 2pm. We have arranged for some fun lawn games, face painting and free ice cream. BYO picnic rug, food and drinks. It will be great to see everyone there and a fantastic way for new families to come and get to know one another.

P&F President
