Last night I attended the Annual General Meeting of the Parent Council of Eastern Primary School. A well attended meeting took place in the staff room at the school, which is now in its new location on Camperdown Street.
After two year as Chairperson, Andy Flack stood down. In his annual report Andy referred to:
- the value of the Parent Council's decision to gain charitable status in terms of gift aid reclaimed from Revenues and Customs and access to funds to which the Parent Council might now apply;
- the effectiveness of the Project Board that has been established to oversee the move from Whinny Brae;
- the success of the fundraisers who had organised enjoyable money spinning events over the year and
- the hard work of the Teachers unpacking and getting their classrooms ready for the start of the Autumn term in their new buildings.
