Funds raised for covered walkways

 

Ettalong Public School Parents' and Citizens' (P&C) Association is currently raising funds to provide covered walkways for the school.

P&C President Narelle Feltis said that the high level of rainfall this year had highlighted the urgent need for covered access to areas such as the library and kindergarten toilets before winter arrives.

She said parents waiting to collect children were often drenched and staff must be very uncomfortable teaching after dashing through the rain to reach their classrooms.

The P&C has adopted the Pauls milk "Collect-A- Cap" promotion to assist in raising the funds to begin work.

"Each specially marked 'Collect-A-Cap' will bring 10 cents back to the school," she said.

"It is a really great way of supporting the project without spending any extra money at all.

Anyone in the community who would also like to support the school's efforts by saving their caps can let the school know, and someone from the P&C will collect them, or they can be dropped at the school office in Karingi Street.
