There are a number of committee positions that need to be filled – for details of the different roles and their responsibilities, visit the Committee page, here. There will also be discussion of the 2010 budget and plans for the year. You don’t have to take a job if you come along to the meeting, and nor do you have to come to the meeting to take a job – if you’re interested in getting involved in some way or another, big or small, do please get in touch – email convenor@rbscmep.net or director@rbscmep.net or post a comment here.

The dedicated and efficient help of lots of people at the working bee yesterday afternoon achieved a transformation of the P&C room (now also the program director’s office), the cleaners’ room (now also a room for tutors and for Footloose costumes etc), storage spaces, bathrooms and more. Too many adults to thank individually – thank you all! – but here goes for the students whose efforts are greatly appreciated: Carla and her sister, Nellie, Edward, Amanda, Coco, Emerson and Colin. There’s still some painting to be done and some minor outfitting (shelves etc) but it’s all looking good. There’ll be an official opening with dignitaries and speeches in due course. The working bee scheduled for Saturday and Sunday this coming weekend will now be held on Saturday March 6 only, from 1-5pm. The main jobs will be moving stuff, getting rid of rubbish and cleaning (BYO bucket, sugar soap or equivalent, cleaning cloths etc). Many hands needed so please come along and help. This is the perfect time to inspect the new rehearsal space and meet other parents and students in the program while doing something useful! WORKING BEE The new rehearsal space is just about finished but we’ve run out of money now and need all hands on deck to finish the last bits and pieces so the MEP can finally move in. Because there’s some painting to do we’ve scheduled this event over 2 days – please come for much or as little as you can manage! Saturday March 6, 1-5pm Enter through the gates to the school hall. If you can bring brushes, rollers etc to paint with that would be great; we’ll also be cleaning so bring gloves, bucket, sugar soap or similar, old cloths etc. Apart from that there’s stuff to move and to organise inside the space. This job is one for adults and students, the more the better. E AGM Main agenda items will be election of officers for 2010-2011 and discussion of the 2010 budget. There will also be time to ask questions, find out more about the MEP, meet other like-minded parents and so on. Tuesday March 9, 7pm We are currently revising the roles/responsibilities of MEP parent committee members to make sure none of the jobs is too onerous. Details of the revised positions will be posted on the MEP website asap. As a parent-run program MEP depends on the support of the families involved – please make the effort to attend this meeting. MEET THE MUSIC Wednesday March 17, 6.30pm If you can’t make it please return your tickets to Ms Masterson at school asap so we can sell/give them to someone else – it’s awful when tickets are not used! Like last year, students and adults are seated separately but once we know which seats we’ve been allocated we can rearrange ourselves so families are together, or students next to their friends, etc. FEES
