Welcome To The Jamboree Heights State School
Parents & Citizens Association Website

WEBSITE UPDATING
Recently we have received some feedback about the website not being up to date, and not being able to access the newsletters, etc online. We do apologise for this, but the website is updated manually, which means typing all the coded instructions on how the website will look, and isn't just a matter of clicking a button like on Facebook!

All the work is done by our Vice President, who not only does a lot of P & C work, but has her own business to run as well as 8 and 4 year old daughters and a 1 year old son. If you have any queries, suggestions or can't find the latest information on the website, please contact us and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

COMING EVENTS
What a big year of School and P & C events we have had and have coming up! We have had the always successful Cross Country Fun Run, wins at both music and choral competitions, and coming up in October an Art Week, shared with our cluster schools, culminating in an outdoor visual Art extravaganza here at Jamboree Heights State School. Don't forget to check out the Calendar to see what's going on.

BEACH PARTY DISCO! - FRIDAY 17TH OCTOBER

Come and join the fun in your best beach party gear for loads of fun and prizes! Check out the Disco Page for all the details!

ART SHOW CAKES STALL - SATURDAY 25TH OCTOBER
Don't miss the culmination of our Art Week, with a great coffee and cake stall at CSHS! To make it a success we need your help, so send your donations of cakes, biscuits, scones, or sweet treats to school on Friday the 24th, or bring them with you on Saturday! Please Note: These pictures are not indicative of what will be available. They are display photos only.

FETE 2009
And next year will be even bigger! We are in the beginning stages of planning a Circus-Themed Fete Extravaganza! It will be a huge day filled with fun and games, and as we are planning the day from a child's point of view, we hope to have attractions such as roving clowns and magicians, cute animals for the young ones, tumbling acrobat and juggling training, as well as all the favourite foods, rides and games.

But it wont happen with out your help! Many hands make light work, and if you feel you can only contribute a few hours to one particular area, and don't want to feel obligated to do more, please let us know, as we only ask that volunteers give what time they can, and we value any help you can give, as opposed to none.

We are also looking for expressions of interest from businesses who would like to sponsor the event. Our top sponsorship packages filled up very fast last year, and some businesses missed out! So get in early and get top billing for next years Fete!

Check out our Circus Page or Contact Us for more information. And don't forget to check out the Fete pages from last year to see what kind of stalls we have, volunteer's we need and sponsorship opportunities there will be.

THANKS FIONA!
Sadly, the AGM brought an end to the wonderful leadership of Fiona Provan. She has had involvement at JHSS for over 30 years; as a student, parent and varying roles in the P & C. She has been involved in many (and essential to quite a few) projects around the school such as building the hall and new OSHC building, smart new sun safe uniforms, bringing the OSHC and tuckshop from small conveniences to very successful enterprises, and many other efforts including all the fetes, cake/mothers day/fathers day stalls, raffles, fundraising and grants.

So in recognition for her never-ending and selfless work to improve the school’s resources, facilities and educational experiences, the P & C presented Fiona with a weekend away.

The P & C only asks that the parent community think of the reasons that you enrolled your children at JHSS, and we’re sure that Fiona will have had a hand in quite a few of those reasons.

So please be generous and either bring your donations to the school office or simply click here to donate online right now!. Thank you for showing your appreciation to a fantastic asset to your school, and your child’s education, and we hope you will join us in wishing Fiona the best for her future, and saying: Fiona, you will be greatly missed.
