But if the term “Mothers Club” brings to mind a vision of pristine, apron clad women, swapping gossip and recipes for home-baked goods; then rest assured times have certainly changed. Parents Association membership is open to both Mums and Dads. Today's parents have a varied life style as compared to past generations and finding time for helping children at school is difficult. However the initial concept of Mother’s Club was to provide a support network for parents, to fund raise and to be of service to the school community and in these objectives, nothing has changed today. Dingley Primary School’s Parents Association is a social and service group that exists to benefit and assist the school that our children attend. We fund raise to provide many of those essential “extras” such as additional computers, sunshades and team sports uniforms. We provide services like the on-site Uniform Shop so that parents, particularly those who work full-time, can obtain school uniforms in an easy and cost-effective way. We are there to support, assist and advise our parents and students throughout their school experience from Prep Orientation to Grade 6 Graduation. We organise social events so that parents can have some valuable time out with other people who truly understand the value of timeout! We organise and participate in a variety of school activities including Prep Orientation, Mother and Father’s Day stalls, Fundraising, Grade 6 Graduation and are the highly successful annual fete. Our Parents Association members are a diverse and friendly group of people from all backgrounds. We meet about once a month, on a Monday morning in the staff room. Notification of our meetings appear in the calendar section of the school newsletter. Our meetings usually involve some lively discussion, the odd argument, lots of laughter, oh and we do manage to get some work done too! As a member of the Parents Association, not only will you have a real opportunity to enhance your child’s school and their school experience, but you will also enhance your school experience. You will be challenged and engaged, you will never be bored, you will forge life long friendships, and you may benefit from the advice and experience of “older” parents who have already “been there and done that”. You will have fun. Interested in joining us? Just come along to a meeting — no apron required!
