Community Council Corner
The SJAPS Community Council met on Wednesday 6 August, key updates from this meeting include:
The Community Council not only create fundraising opportunities to raise funds for the school, but we also make decisions about how these funds are used to benefit our children and the broader school community.
On 31 July the SJAPS fete working group met for the initial planning meeting. All members were present. Working group members are; Stephanie Juskevics (parent from 1B), Karen Leighton (School representative), Lucy Barrett (parent from 1M), Jane Hebden, Georgina Misev (parent from KB) and Michael Rix (parent from 5B).
The SJAPS fete has been scheduled for 13 March 2026 and will run from 4pm-7:30pm.
The fete working group will meet on the last Thursday of each month for the remainder of the 2025 year.
