Weston Community Preschool Inc. 

Why do we have one?

Weston Community Preschool is a community-based preschool. This means it is governed by a volunteer committee. Without a committee preschool would have to close its doors and this would be a great loss for our children and families. The committee’s role is to govern the organisation. The committee is ultimately responsible for the organisations legal obligations and insuring it’s on going viability. The committee is accountable to its members of the organisation, clients and the broader community. 

To ensure the organisation meets its objectives, the committee employs an Nominated Supervisor to manage the day to day operations of the service.  

The effectiveness of the organisation is dependent on a well-defined partnership with the Nominated Supervisor, through a clear understanding of the roles and responsibilities and through regular open communication.    

 

What is the committee?
The committee is made up of Office Bearers. Office Bearers hold the following positions:
President

Vice President

Treasurer

Secretary

 

Alongside these roles we also require 3 further committee members to be nominated and form the full committee. These are placed in the following roles:
Public Officer (this is a required role)
Vice Treasurer

Fundraising Coordinator

 

You can also join the committee as a committee member as these are our minimum requirements stipulated above. As a community-based preschool, we rely on all our families involvements to ensure preschool is a success for the children.

How do I join the committee?
Members of the committee are elected at the annual general meeting (AGM) held in March each year.  Nominations are required in writing 7 days before the AGM on the attached nomination form. If elected to the committee a $2 donation will be required for membership fees.
