Connecting College and Community

Thank you to all who attended last weeks meeting. Following is a re-cap of the agenda items discussed:

OCEANfest - Carnivale

• The committee is working on a grant application submission to the Sunshine Coast Council to assist with funding OCEANfest this year.
• The Pacific Action Groups have advised they would like to be involved this year.
• New rides are being researched and a new fireworks display is also under discussion.
• Volunteers are still required. If you would like to assist, please contact Leanne Bevis (Middle/Senior College Office) or Mel Pollack (Convenor).

SCISSA Gala Days

There are two more SCISSA Gala Days to be held at Pacific this year –9^th June and 8^th September. Assistance is required between 9.00am and 2.30pm on each of these days. Anyone who is able to volunteer their time is asked to please contact Allyson Sarvari on fop@pacluth.qld,edu.au.

Jazz Evening

The 2016 Jazz Evening is being held on Friday 22^nd April. Whilst this event is primarily run by Pacific’s Hospitality and Music Departments, this year FoP is getting behind the event, providing assistance and support. If you have a special interest in this or would like to assist in set up and pack down of equipment/lighting, please contact us at fop@pacluth.qld,edu.au.

Community Road Safety Grant

The cycle skills program, which has been run annually for the Year 4 students, is unfortunately no longer available due to external funding cuts. FoP is going to submit a grant application that will hopefully result in the program continuing this year.

Finally, we wish everyone a safe and relaxing Easter Break.

Mrs Tracey Hindmarsh, FoP Chairperson
