Next year looks to be another big year for JEPS, with the highly anticipated commencement of the build for Stage 1 of our playground project. Shamus Toomey will also represent the P&C at planning meetings regarding the school hall build.
We will also be seeking a volunteer to take over the role of Scholastic Book Club orders for our school. A huge thanks to Ajshe Pritchard, who has co-ordinated this for JEPS over the last four years. During this time, the program has funded $8,000 worth of books and resources for our school library. Ajshe will be available to hand over the ropes to someone who is keen to take on this role for 2020.
We hope you will join us for our first meeting on Tuesday 11th February, with our Annual General Meeting starting at 7pm, followed by our regular meeting at 7:30pm. We welcome new members and look forward to your suggestions and feedback.
On behalf of the JEPS P&C, I wish you all a very merry Christmas and holiday period. We hope you have the opportunity to spend time with family and friends and enjoy some down time after a busy school year.

P&C President and the P&C Executive and Committee members
