Dear Parents and Friends of the School

LAWRENCE AREA SCHOOLCommunity Newsletter 27th February 2014No 2One of the challenges being set for students, especially our senior school students, thisyear is community partnership and contribution.

Volunteering is commonplace in our community with many service groups, interest groupsand sport groups relying heavily on people giving time freely. The work carried out by our

local St Johns, volunteer fire brigades and Lions provide regular evidence of this.

Encouraged by the example set by our student leaders we hope to provide opportunitiesfor the senior school student body to engage in volunteering.

To date we have had students involved in the Clutha District Youth Council: Others have

helped the Heart Foundation Annual Appeal. A good number of students, many from Year7/8, helped out with catering at the Lawrence Lions Trail Bike Ride.

This event was even bigger this year with just under eight hundred riders. Our school PTAprovided lunches for these riders. This meant that our parent volunteers had a very busyFriday, Saturday and Sunday. A really good number of parents gave time and helped outwith the many tasks, preparing packs on Friday, preparing onions on Friday. Organising andsetting up equipment; tressels, tables, marques, BBQs was work quietly carried out in the

background. Cooking meals (BBQ plus hotdogs and chips) and serving meals required adedicated crew of workers. These were however most enjoyable tasks as team spirit washigh with everyone getting stuck in.

A huge congratulations goes to all the PTA organisers who coordinated all aspects of this

fundraiser brilliantly.

A big thanks goes to Jamie and Sally Benington for selflessly providing the use of theirproperty and time.

Students will hopefully follow the example set by their parents and see the value involunteering and how this contributes to the well being and functioning of communities.

Kind Regards John Auld
