Rainbow Beach School P&C News May 2023
It’s amazing to think we are in Term 2 already, but rest assured the P&C have hit the ground running.
Many of you may have started hearing the term ‘OSHC’ getting around town and for those who are unsure of what this is, it is Outside of School Hours Care. The Rainbow Beach School P&C have been working very hard behind the scenes preparing applications, undertaking approval processes, preparing policies and procedures, and fundraising for an Outside of School Hours Care program which will be operational from Rainbow Beach State School.
The aim of this service will be to provide a range of supervised recreational and leisure activities for school aged children before and after school and during school holidays. We anticipate that this service will be well received by many families in the community given the high percentage of hospitality and tourism operators and working families in our community.
We are hopeful to be operational this year, so watch this space for updates on estimated opening times.
In other news we would like to welcome Belinda Edwards as our school Tuckshop Co-ordinator. Belinda, along with several other very dedicated parents have put together a wonderful new menu which includes a wide variety of fresh and tasty meals for our students which have been thoroughly enjoyed already this year.
We would also like to take this opportunity to say a big thanks to Liz from Rainbow Beach Fruits for the very fresh and popular menu she coordinated last year. Many families continue to utilise the Tuckshop and we know the students look forward to it every week.
Work has also started on organising an arts and crafts stall for students to make a special gift for Mothers and Fathers Day and more fundraising events to come!
