Containers for Change Tags
If you're looking for an easy way to support the school, you could consider donating your Containers for Change money to Joondalup Primary Schools. MP Emily Hamilton has donated some Containers for Change tags, to put on your keyrings. They are available for collection from the office. So next time you're dropping your containers at your local Containers for Change depot, just scan the barcode on the tag and the money from the containers will go straight to Joondalup Primary Schools to support our sustainability program (e.g. Garden Club). Alternatively, you can bring all your containers to school and drop into the Containers for Change bins.
Next P&C Meeting
For those who want to learn more about the P&C or help organise events in 2025, you can either come along to our next meeting this week Wednesday 23 October 7:00 pm in the school staff room or email hello@joondaluppspc.tidymail.co.
Registered P&C members get the chance to vote on important decisions, with the aim to improve the school experience for our kids. Last meeting, we passed the motion to fund the cost of Wednesdays breakfast club for 12 months to ensure every child gets the best start to their school day.
