Majura Primary P&C

Who is on your 2026 P&C Committee? We are lucky to have the delightful Ruth Ellison as our Secretary. If you have had the good fortune to come across Ruth around the place, you would know she is basically sunshine in human form! ☀️☀️☀️ Ruth brings superb organisation and a positive disposition to her Secretary duties. ♥️💙♥️💙

"Hi! I’m Ruth Ellison and am the parent of Sagan (year 3) and Leo (year 1). I love contributing to and growing our wonderful Majura school community! I’ve been on the P&C for the past 2 years as a general committee member and on the committee this year in the role of Secretary.
When I’m not busy with running a small boutique consulting business or P&C activities, you can usually find me deep in a crafting project - I love tinkering with my laser cutter and 3D printer.
I can't wait to connect with more of you and see what we can achieve together this year. Please come up and say hi if you see me around"

Introducing our new P&C Committee members!

Ramya Victor has already enjoyed the power that comes with a high vis vest and a clipboard, organising the Preschool Easter egg hunt and BBQ this year (and avoiding the temptation to take an organiser's chocolate cut). She may be an ordinary Committee member but there's nothing ordinary about that level of self control! 🍫🍫🍫

"Hi I'm Ramya, proud parent of Aekansh Bamma (Year 3) and Adhira Bamma (Preschool). I was inspired to join THE Committee by the amazing initiatives already happening at our school and my own passion for giving back to our community.

I'm keen to hear from you about ideas you have on how we can help to make the school a better place for our kids." ♥️🩵♥️🩵

Reminder: Stay and Play tomorrow. The forecast might be chilly but that doesn't seem to stop Majura kids going bananas for no added sugar icy poles on the oval! 🤷‍♀️ ❄️

Grab an icy pole and connect with families before the school holidays. You may want to give one another a high five for making your way though an ELEVEN WEEKER term. 😴😴😴

At last term's AGM, we elected a new committee ( introductions to come!). But first some thank yous to our past committee members not continuing.

Fee McLean joined the Committee two years ago first as Events and Fundraising rep and then as a general committee member. With only a belief in the power of belonging, a self deprecating sense of humour and an ability to rally people around her to do lots of the heavy lifting, she led a range of events to raise funds and bring our Majura community together.

From democracy sausages and trivia nights to the 2025 Majura Autumn Fete and the Twilight Picnic - Fee was ever present wearing high vis with a phone in one hand (gotta get those sweet pics for socials! ) and a clipboard full of risk assessment documentation (even fun needs a wet weather plan) and long list of volunteers*.

Fee has stood aside from committee duties but intends to still support the P&C events calendar including through the Twilight Picnic end of year celebration. If you want to get involved, join our P&C WhatsApp community here: https://lnk.bio/MajuraPandC

*Did we mention last year's fete brought together over ONE HUNDRED volunteers?! Surely that is some kind of P&C record... What a remarkable community we have!♥️🩵♥️🩵

At last term's AGM we elected a new Committee (introductions to come!) but first we have some thank yous to last year's committee.

Rachael Brown really poured her heart and soul into being convenor for the last two years. She ran our meetings like a pro - making sure everyone had the opportunity to be heard, that we made it through our packed agenda with clear actions and most importantly that we were out in time for the cleaners to come through.

Rachael was also personally involved in just about every P&C activity, turning up to volunteer (see Exhibit A in stylish pink high vis) but also to be part of the event planning team or as a sounding board* for other committee members or events planners. You may have also tuned into the ABC when Rachael 'talking points' Brown put her media training to good use advocating for good outcomes for our school.

Rachael thank you for being an exceptional leader. Our school community is lucky to have you be part of it!
