The Family Fun Night
2020 date has
been set!!!
February 28
P&C Meeting…
Last nights P&C meeting covered a number of topics including the need to create a strategic plan for
the overall beautification of Wellers Hill State School and our Sports Support Group presented some
exciting ideas to get the ball rolling to provide a fun and welcoming environment for the children.
An update on the Weller Road carpark was provided and we can hopefully look forward to a surfaced
carpark before Term 1.
There were several financial requests and Oisin Grennan was very pleased today when he was advised
that the P&C request for assistance to provide 4 Prep swimming lessons this year was approved. Oisin
believes that giving the children an introduction to the pool in term 4 will make it easier for them in
term 1 next year and a timely water safety program before the summer holidays is a valuable life skill.
The Music Support Group sub-committee have been very busy, and they presented a document that
outlines the WHSS Music Program and the funding mechanisms that see its continued success and a
purchase and replacement schedule for instruments for the next five years. MSG are very active in
fundraising and an instrument purchase and replacement schedule for 2019 was approved to ensure
a successful start to 2020. Congratulations on your fantastic work!!
And finally, but not in the least last, our Amateur Swimming Club - more well known as Wellers Ratz
will no longer need to use their outdoor voices on Friday nights with an approval for the purchase of
a PA speaker with wireless microphone.

Last Tuckshop day for this term…
The last day for tuckshop this year will be Wednesday 11 December. We are not open on the last
Thursday and Friday of the school term.
As we head to the end of term we run our freezers down for the long school holiday break so as the
term progresses you might find that some items are not available. We try hard to get our numbers
right and make all items available up until the last day, however it is not always possible so we
apologise in advance if your child’s favourite item is not available as we get closer to the end.
2020 Menu…
Our plan for next year is to have a menu change – we will keep our most popular items but add new
ones to freshen up the menu. At the moment we are experimenting with new menu ideas (here’s a
sneak preview - Gyoza with a Crunchy Noodle Asian Salad – YUM!!). The “brains trust” working on this
welcomes any suggestions you have for new menu items – things that your kids love that might be
able to be included. We can have a look at what’s suggested and see if we can logistically add it to our
menu. If you think of something please email us at tuckshop@wellershillpandc.com.au
