We're moving to Facebook

We've decided to move our online communications to Facebook — it seems so many people are already on there, and it's easier for many parents to have our notices pop up in their feed. We'll leave this blog up for a bit for reference purposes, but will likely close it down in a few months.

So come over and Like us, Kapanui Parents and Friends Association on Facebook! (https://www.facebook.com/kapanuipfa/)

Get Your Groove On is this Friday — get your tickets!

Minutes of Meeting

Parents & Friends Association

Meeting Held Friday 1st July 2016 , 2.00pm

 @ Kapanui School Staffroom

Present:   Kirsty, Lisanne, Sarah, , Eli, Motu, Kate

Apologies:  Janet, Emma

Interschool cross country/ regional cross country

Unfortunately this wasn’t has big of an event that originally thought.  However we still sold around 450 sausages.  Left over stock will be used for regional cross country 5^th July with the hope it will balance out and we will make some good profit.  A roster has been sent out for helpers on the 5^th.

We made $50 from the coffee cart.  It was great to make that contact and we will use them again for events.

School lunches:

Kirsty to follow this up again.

Kirsty will approach Jeanine and see if there is a possibility of something hot like a pie as a treat.  Also to have available (gluten free) next to the menu items that are applicable.  There are quite a lot of vegetarian options on the menu.

Kapa Haka:

Sarah has passed the information onto Suzanne re the letter to the Baptist church.  Uniforms will be needed in November, if funding isn’t successful we will make sure they uniforms for November. 

 “Get your Groove on” major fundraiser 12^th August

“Get your Groove on” major fundraiser 12^th August

Sarah is doing a fab job behind the scene at starting to organize this.  A letter will go home in the newsletter over the next few weeks asking if families have contacts with certain suppliers we need to make this event possible.  Keeping our costs down will help with profit on the night. Sarah has had this in the newsletter with a disappointing 0 response from parents.

 Tickets and posters are nearly ready to print.  We are able to do this at the school to help with costs. Tickets are printed and are at the office.

Looking for a contact that prints the community billboards on the coast for larger advertising.  Sarah still working on this.  Kirsty to give her paul brittain morby contact.  paul@koast.co.nz

Janet to ask Warren if he would be happy to be on the door to check ID and tickets. Done and has  3 others to help

Janet to ask Warren about Chiller, glasses from a contact he may have.

Kirsty has applied to pak n save for $250 to go towards nibbles. Will chase up as haven’t heard back

Kirsty has applied to Café Lafferee for sponsor free coffee.  Yes has been accepted

Kirsty will contact Kapiti Water to ask if they can supply a water filter on the night.  Have been to see them, waiting for a reply, looks like we can get 1-2 dispensers for the night.

Kirsty to look into Waikanae Community board grant to cover

Hall hire $64.50

Liquor Licence $270

Amourguard to collect money ??

Dancers $400 plus GST

I have applied for $800,  This will be looked at in the August funding round.  Sounding promising, not sure how much though

Janet will also look at other funding options to help with costs plus the glasses, chiller etc.

Kirsty to hand out flyers around local shops to put in staffroom’s windows etc

Kirsty to see if the gym club will let us you sound system, we could give them a donation.

Kirsty to get flyers to hand out at netball next Saturady.

Kirsty to call Jeanine and make meeting over holiday’s re food.  To connect with Sarah.

New world are happy to do sale and return on alcohol.  Kirsyt to follow up.

Eli to contact someone about courtesy cars to get people home safely for a gold coin donation.

Eli to also see if she can get speakers.

Sarah to contact Mia from Hells Pizza for supper

Talks of a photo booth, will re look closer to the time.

Kate to talk to Jac Wagstaff re sponsorship and if she has any contacts for glasses, chiller etc.

Sarah also to send out an update on where we are at in case I’ve missed something.

Big thing is for everyone to promote, promote, posters up everywhere.

Facebook

Kate has expressed that most hits come from facebook.  She asked if we could have a FB page.  She has spoken to Des and he would be happier if we use the school FB page and she and Sarah were administrators.  We feel this would be the best solution so there aren’t as many contact points for parents as it becomes confusing.

Meeting closed 3pm

Next meeting 5^th August 2pm in the staffroom.
