2008 Executive Directory

P & F Forums and P & F Meetings are advertised in the Newsletter We welcome you to these meetings which provide a forum for you to hear of the progress of the school and Parents & Friends Association. A membership fee of $5.00 per family gives you voting rights and this is paid as part of the Term One Fee Account. These meetings aim to be informative about the school, education, and topics relevant to parents.  The elected P & F Executive meet on a monthly basis - usually the second Tuesday every month at 7:00pm in K4 Ken Thamm Centre. Parents are welcome to attend.

General Information

During the year the P & F hosts several social functions for the enjoyment of parents. This is an ideal opportunity for parents to meet and talk to the teachers and to interact with other parents, especially those involved with your House group. Please come and enjoy the evening. BBQ meat and salad will be provided - drinks will be available for sale. Held in February each year.

The P & F Association raises money through the Arts Festival and Fruehlingsfest. This money is directed back into the school in equipment and financial assistance to various projects. 

Fruehlingsfest is a major fundraiser and enjoyable day. Its outstanding success throughout the years is due to the hard work of parents, teachers and students. 

You may have a special skill or talent or know a fantastic guest speaker that you would like to share with us. We would love to hear from you. Any areas of school life that you wish to have discussed as part of our P & F meetings? We look forward to hearing from you.

Arts Festival

Fruehlingsfest

Fruehlingsfest, which is German for "Spring Festival", is our fete that will be held in August. This is run by the Parents & Friends Association of the College with the support and cooperation of students, teachers and ancillery staff. We need people to get involved in all areas as a fun way to support the College. More information can be obtained from Cecily Odgers on 54773457, or via email to burrd@immanuel.qld.edu.au.

Buzz Book P-12

The collation and printing of this Directory is a project of the Parents & Friends Association. The Buzz Book is a Directory of both students and their parents, and phone numbers and addresses are listed in order to help you maintain a close link with our College community. If you wish, you do have the opportunity to have your name excluded from this Buzz Book.

This book has a secondary function. In many cases parents would like to support other families of the College community through business dealings. Therefore, we encourage parents to advertise in this Buzz Book This is a fundraising effort and the cost of printing is covered by the $5.00 fee charged to your term account.

The Immanuel College 2008 Buzz Book - Copyright is produced by the P & F as a Directory of students and their families and is not available as a mailing list for business use.

Advertisements can be placed through Cecily Odgers on 54773457, or via Email burrd@immanuel.qld.edu.au.

Parental Help

To work efficiently we require the support of all parents. The success of our school depends on community support. "By giving your time and energy" you will be helping your student and enjoying social interaction with other parents. To continue to work efficiently, we require the support of parents in the following areas: Rainforest care, Tuckshop roster, Uniform Shop. Cooking for functions held out of school hours, staff assistance - special needs will be advertised in 'Immanuel News'.

We can guarantee pleasant working conditions, friendly faces, plenty of morning and/or afternoon tea, but more importantly you will make wonderful friendships, learn more about the College and you are helping your student. Thank you in anticipation. Please contact Cecily Odgers on 5477 3457 or email: burrd@immanuel.qld.edu.au.

During the past few years the P & F has been vitally aware of the problems which parents face in relation to social activities outside the school. We therefore have a social code of conduct. 

Social Conduct Code

Immanuel Lutheran College parent and student representatives compiled the following guidelines for social conduct to encourage enjoyable and safe social activities. We wish to uphold the high standard Immanuel Lutheran College has attained in the community; and to assist students to develop into responsible and caring citizens, motivated by Christian values. Advice on parties and related matters can be obtained by contacting the Administration Office. 

Social functions are expected to finish at a reasonable hour. 
At social gatherings in the home, at least one of the parents should be in attendance to assist the young host and ensure that entertainment is of a suitable nature. 
It is important that social functions be kept to a minimum during term, particularly term four. 
It is considered necessary that students be taken to and from evening functions by a responsible adult. 
Students should invite only those known to them - each guest being invited personally. It is necessary that invitations, written or verbal, nominate the finish time and be answered definitely. 
Open parties are ill advised and it is appropriate that uninvited persons not be admitted. 
It is essential that the consumption of alcohol, the smoking of tobacco and the use of drugs at student parties be prohibited. 
Communication between parents, and between students and parents, will prevent many problems. 

As parents and friends of Immanuel we are all working toward upholding the high standard Immanuel has reached in the community, and we are here to support you in your endeavours to uphold the Social Code of Conduct.
