COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT

The Committee of Management is responsible for managing the affairs of the Kindergarten.

These include:-

1.   Employing all Educators

2.   Maintaining the building, grounds and equipment

3.   Managing the finances, receiving and paying out Money, conducting fund-raising activities, etc

4.   Conducting the Kindergarten in a manner which meets with the Victorian Kindergarten Policy, Procedures and Funding Criteria.

The Committee of Management is elected each year in February at the Annual General Meeting. Our Model Rules provide for four office bearers - President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary - and six ordinary Committee members. The service provided by the Committee of Management is vital to the smooth running of the Kindergarten.

A monthly meeting is generally held on a Monday at 7:00 p.m at the Kindergarten, unless a term break precludes this. A list of Committee members and contact numbers will be displayed on the notice board in the foyer.

Parents are welcome to contact members of the Committee through the Kindergarten or by phone. If you wish to attend a Management Committee Meeting or have copies of minutes or agendas passed on to you, please contact the Secretary in advance so arrangements can be made.
