Forward July 2015 | Page 55

COMMUNITY From your P & F On receiving an email from Gillian to advise me of this Forward article deadline, I nearly fell off my chair to realise that we are half way through another year. Perhaps this is due to my son now catching the South Perth school bus each day (great initiative!), but the past six months seem to have passed by so very quickly. In the previous issue of the Forward I acknowledged the $30,000 commitment by your P&F towards a bike shed to be used by both boarding and day students in the Senior School. As you can see from the photo, the bike shed has now been completed. In the Society’s March meeting, your P&F committee worked through a number of proposed expenditure opportunities and I am very happy to announce the following: • Over the past two years, Friends of Senior School (FOSS) have given a contribution to Senior School Houses assisting with amenities which can include kitchen items and furniture. The P&F Committee has ratified a further contribution of $1,000 per house, to continue this great initiative. • Headmaster, Mr Stephen Webber, shared with the P&F Committee the architectural 3D plans of the new Nature Playground which will feature in the main courtyard area of the new Preparatory School development. The Nature Play will be an outstanding addition to this development and the School was eager to increase their investmen ЁѼ
