COMMUNITY From your P & F The P&F Committee has been busy in the first half of the year, reviewing funding proposals from the School and the community. The use of P&F funds is a well-planned process and all members of the P&F Committee contribute. The process commences at the beginning of the school year on receipt of parent subscriptions of $50, which are paid with your first invoice. The P&F Treasurer then determines the funding available for use and commences the collection of funding proposals, which are presented at the P&F meetings for discussion. During the decision making process, the Committee reflect on the purpose of the P&F, which is to serve the School and support the Community. Our service focuses on supporting three key areas sports, arts and community. The Committee will then consider whether the tabled proposals contribute towards the betterment of our children’s experience at Guildford Grammar School; how best they support the community; and how the proposal serves the School. The final process is to ensure the proposal delivers towards the School’s core values. All P&F Committee members then vote and a majority is required for the proposal to be accepted. Paren
