Hello / Kia Ora
Thank you to
everyone who came along on Friday to celebrate with us 120 years of schooling
at Coroglen. Thank you to The Coroglen Tavern for donating the wonderful
birthday cake pictured above and the fund-raising group for doing the sausage
sizzle.

Elections
There has been a mix up with the final day of voting. Some people have
been told the final day is on Friday 27th May, and some have been
told it is today. We have decided to extend it to 12 noon Friday 27th
May for those who have been told this. Please return your voting papers to
school asap.
Donations for Fijian Schools
Thank you to
Kale Webster for donating books and toys to go to remote Fijian schools. The
plastic container will be at the school until it is full.
Assembly moves back to Friday
As swimming
has ended, we have decided to move assembly back to Friday afternoons from
2.30pm. This is our opportunity to share with parents.
New Time Table
We have also
decided to trial a new time table where the children will get two 40 minute
breaks during the day. The amount of classroom and break time remains unaltered
but will be reorganised to two 40 minute recess periods. This is because most
children are eating a substantial amount at morning play time and will give
them time to also run around and play. New morning tea break will start at
10.40am to 11.20am. Lunch break will be from 12.50pm to 1.30pm.
Water Leak
Ross from Eco Plumbing has identified a leak in the water line which is the
likely cause of ongoing problems with our water pump. We are currently working
on locating the leak, hence the hole beside the driveway.
Continuing
Care Visit
The senior room children will be entertaining the residents at
Continuing Care on Monday 13th June at 11am. A transport slip will come home in next
week’s newsletter if you are able to provide transport. This is a wonderful
opportunity for us to perform to an audience and the residents at Continuing
Care thoroughly enjoy our visits.
Fund Raising meeting
A brief
meeting was held with a couple of the Fund-raising team last night to look at
the draft policy (which is attached to this newsletter) and brain storm events
and projects. Your feedback on the draft policy is invited.
Elgrego
Thank you to the parents who helped provide transport and extra car
booster seats last week to get our children to Whenuakite School to hear Elgrego’s
anti-bullying message as well as watch his magic act. Our very own Valo
assisted Elgrego in one of his acts as pictured below.
Do you know how Elgrego was able to levitate and float unaided? The adults in the audience were most
impressed as well as the children.
Many thanks too,
to Mr Marsden and Whenuakite School for inviting us to the performance.
Welcome back to Sashka and Oliver
Highway, who
returned to Coroglen today. It’s lovely to have you both back.
Have a good week, from Jean and
the team…
Coroglen School
Fundraising Team Policy – DRAFT
Rationale: The Fundraising Team has an important role in
raising money that will benefit the school and its children, and can serve the
school community by arranging events that encourage unity and harmony.
Purposes:
1.
To organise fundraising which will supplement
the school’s operational bulk grant. This will allow the purchase of specific
items of equipment resources or services.
2.
To organise activities in such a way that social
or financial returns reflect the time committed by the members, i.e. the
activities embarked upon should be cost effective.
3.
To foster goodwill by organising social events
which bring the school and community together.
Guidelines:
1.
The committee will set a calendar of events with
their fundraising targets each February, and will meet regularly throughout the
year. The annual general meeting should take place before the end of August.
2.
The election of officers and committee members
will be at the AGM. The office holders will be elected by the committee, to
consist of Chairperson, Secretary/Treasurer.
3.
A BOT member will attend each Fundraising Team
meeting. This liaison will allow the committee and the trustees to work with a
common purpose. The BOT member will also act as liaison with staff.
4.
Meetings are to follow parliamentary guidelines
with the keeping of accurate minutes, correspondence, treasurer’s report and
general business.
5.
The Fundraising Team will consult and seek approval
from the BOT for each year’s proposed fundraising ventures.
6.
Internal controls of finance should be
established to ensure that any errors or irregularities are discovered quickly.
These controls will include
a. The
operation of cashbook accounting system.
b. Two
signatures to be required on every check. Only the chairperson and
secretary/treasurer to have signing authority.
c. Accounts
payable being approved at meetings before payment. Cheques must be written out
before the second signature is added.
d. Receipts
being presented for reimbursement.
e. A
treasurer’s report being present at each meeting.
7.
The
committee working account should hold not more than $1,000. Sums in excess of
this should be passed to the school. The school shall keep records which will
accurately show all sums received from the fundraising committee and all items
on which that money has been spent.
8.
The Fundraising Team will provide the BOT
annually with a statement of audited accounts.
9.
A report on each fundraising event is to be made
to the school community
10.
Any sponsors will be thanked and promoted.
