ST James Parents Association : EVENT IDEAS   FOR 2021 & BEYOND : Food for thought...
Historically at St James Primary, we have always engaged our school community through various school lead events and activities, some of which were simply to connect with each other, and some created to specifically drive our school fundraising efforts to benefit and support the needs and development of our children.

In 2020, we were not permitted to run a large majority of our usual beloved St James events and as we enter a new year of continuous monitoring and change in the way we run school activities, the St James Parent’s Association are seeking your feedback on some of the proposed new ideas around school events moving forward. We would like to share these ideas with you now and offer all parents, the opportunity to share your comments and feedback here as follows:

WELCOME DISCO EVENT  (IN-SCHOOL EVENT) – Term 2 or Term 4 (Date TBC).  Proposal to continue with our loved “Welcome Disco” event, postponed from Term 1 due to COVID restrictions within school grounds. SJ Parent’s Association is considering continuing to run this activity perhaps in Term 2 or moving to end of year, to invite NEW families arriving at school in 2022, to attend.  Please indicate your preference for this type of event to be held this year by circling 1 (not preferred) to 10 (highly preferred) as follows, and any additional comments you may have in the space provided below: *

COLOUR-RUN (WALKATHON) – POSSIBLE MAJOR FUNDRAISING EVENT (OFF-SITE) – Term 3 OR 4 (Date TBC).   Proposed “Colour Run” walkathon fundraising event, inviting all students to participate in a really fun and memorable day activity. Each student creates their own individual fundraising page, encouraging sponsorship funding from family, friends, and their local communities, to support (by way of donation) towards each students’ participation in this event (sponsorship through ticketing type arrangement). See the video below for more information.

MAIN EVENT (“PARENT GET TOGETHER” EVENT) – MID-YEAR AUG/SEPT  (Date TBC)  Proposal to continue with our main event inviting all parents across all levels, to get together one evening (outside school), to meet each other and enjoy a night out. Tickets could include venue hire, floating canapes and welcome drink (for example). There may be opportunity to provide some door prizes on the night via raffle tickets etc, but the focus is not fundraising alone but geared more towards re-engaging with each other as our school parent community.  Please click here to read more on how this might work at St James.Please indicate your preference for this type of event to be held this year, circle 1 (not preferred) to 10 (highly preferred) as follows: *

TEACHER CONTRIBUTIONS (DONATIONS FOR END OF YEAR TEACHER GIFTS) – (Term 4)Proposal to continue with providing parent donations towards end of year Teacher gifts. Previously, this non-mandatory/optional activity, has kindly asked parents to donate up to $20 per child for their child’s teachers gift (gifts covering both teacher birthday and thank you). CDF Pay can be used however, it has been suggested to manage coordination of this through parent reps directly (either straight into bank account OR cash in hand). All payments will require a receipt be provided, and full disclosure of price and purchase details to the school, so we are seeking what your preferred option is here with this activity moving forward:Please indicate your preference for what type of payment system you prefer and how you rate your preferred option as follows:  circle 1 (not preferred) to 10 (highly preferred) as follows, and any comments: *
