CHAIRPERSON

The Chairperson is the main point of contact for committee members, staff and external parties but their main role is to support the pre-school Leader, with whom they form a close relationship. The role is fantastically varied, offering an opportunity to get involved in everything from staff recruitment and appraisals, to policy development and fundraising projects.

At committee meetings the Chairperson is responsible for setting the agenda and co-ordinating roles in any plans that are made. They also keep confidential records of terms and conditions of employment up to date.

TREASURER

The Treasurer oversees the pre-school finances and work very closely with the Pre-school Administrator to ensure the finances and budgets are on track. The Treasurer and Administrator prepare financial reports for each committee meeting.

SECRETARY

The Secretary is responsible for taking the minutes at the committee meetings, distributing the minutes and any other relevant information to committee members.

FUNDRAISERS

Our fundraisers do an amazing job co-ordinating fundraising events. This is a fun and rewarding role that directly benefits the children as all funds raised are spent on toys and equipment for the pre-school.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

We hold an Annual General Meeting (AGM) in September/October each year when new committee members are elected.

Usually members join the committee for a minimum of a year though many people choose to stay on for longer. At our AGM we seek volunteers for any vacancies we may have.

The committee requires a minimum of 6 members and a maximum of 12 although there are always opportunities for non-committee members to get involved.

If you are interested in finding out more about the role of the Pre-school Committee or are interested in joining the Committee, please speak to a current committee member (list on the parent board) or a member of staff.
