Free refreshments

Woy Woy Public School P&C has distributed free refreshments to families of the school as part of annual P&C Day celebrations on March 3.

Group president Mr Mark Ellis said the theme for the day "Try a Little Kindness" was a good way to acknowledge and show the school community what the group was all about.

Mr Ellis said members of the P&C were also available to speak to families about its fundraising campaign to raise money for playground equipment at the school.

"Woy Woy Public School has no real fixed play equipment for children and we consider playground equipment to provide a good means of exercising along with providing kids an opportunity to learn basic skills and work in coordination with others," Mr Ellis said.

"Playgrounds also help in sharpening the mental and physical skills of children."

Minister for Education and Training Ms Verity Firth congratulated schools

and communities for the contribution made by their local Parents and Citizens

Associations to mark the annual P&C Day.

"P&Cs are open to anyone to join and P&C Day aims to raise awareness of

the valuable contribution that parents and local residents make all year

round."
