The Committee

....back to 'About Us'

Mount Hawthorn Playgroup is an Incorporated Association and is managed by a volunteer committee comprised of members nominated at the Annual General Meeting. 

Committee members are nominated and elected each year at the AGM (usually held in August) and whilst there is a formal aspect to the AGM, we try to keep formalities brief and make it a social night too.  It is at this event that nominations are held for the Committee positions and the resulting new Committee is welcomed. All committee positions are officially vacant at the AGM.  Each member is elected for one 12-month term but can be re-elected for subsequent years.  New nominations are always welcomed. 

Committee members volunteer their time to keep the playgroup running. They aim to be accessible and assist as required to the best of their ability. To acknowledge their contribution they do not pay playgroup fees (although they still have to pay the PGWA fees and fundraising levy), and are entitled to one free venue hire per year.

Committee meetings are held monthly. The meetings are held at the centre and generally run for about two hours. We value the input of all members and welcome any ideas, suggestions or feedback. All members are invited and welcome to attend the monthly committee meetings. It provides a valuable opportunity to discuss ideas and help develop a sense of belonging and ownership. 

Our committee and support roles are outlined below.
