Working Bee

On Saturday last we had our second Working Bee. Parents volunteer to come to the school for a couple of hours to do some work. The first Working Bee entailed lining the basketball court, small paint jobs, gardening and window cleaning. This one had more indoor work, window cleaning, chair and table cleaning, removing cobwebs, weeding the gardens and sweeping paths. Each family attends one Working Bee a year and there are four in total, one per term. It is another example of volunteerism at a different level to home. Most sporting groups have Working Bees, it is a part of life here. The PFA also do a huge amount of catering and fundraising but this is separate from them. I will write about the amazing amount of work that they do for the school, later in the year when I have a better overview.
