Our Volunteer Management Committee

IMG_4506.jpg

Gundala Kindergarten Association is led and governed by a Management Committee of Association members who are existing parents and non-parent members, all who are volunteers.

 

The Volunteer Management Committee (VMC) delegates the day-to-day operation of Gundala Kindy to the Director/Nominated Supervisor, and oversees the overall governance of the centre in areas which include financial management, employment and legislation requirements under the National Quality Framework, and the Queensland Kindergarten Funding Scheme. 

 

The Management Committee meets formally with Gundala’s Director/nominated supervisor at least monthly.

 

Gundala’s AGM is held early in the year and all Gundala Association members are welcome.  Being part of the AGM is a great opportunity to hear about all the accomplishments, challenges and futures directions of Gundala.  It’s also an opportunity to nominate to become a member of the Management Committee.   Gundala continues to be committed to being be shaped by its families and community for its children, families and community.

The biggest prerequisites for being on the Management Committee is an in-love-ness with Gundala, a willingness to be an advocate for children and families, and being able to commit time to fulfill on the responsibilities.  We strongly encourage all people who are considering electing for the Management Committee positions to speak directly with the President and others members of the VMC so that you are clear about the role and accountabilities that you will be committing too.

Gundala's Members

Each family is automatically a member of the Association when enrolling their children at Gundala Kindy.  For those who are not parents and wish to become members of Gundala Kindergarten Association, all you have to do to qualify for membership is apply to the Management Committee in writing for approval and submit an annual $2 membership fee.  For non-parent/guardian members who wish to become part of the VMC you need to be an eligible member of the Association for 12 months.

 

The ongoing developing and support of the Management Committee by past VMC members and others, together with the induction procedures adds to the professionalism, integrity, and effectiveness of the whole Association.  One thing that connects all the members of the Gundala’s Management Committee is their desired to leave a legacy that creates inter-generational success for the children and families who graduate from Gundala Kindergarten. We want our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander kids, families and communities to thrive not just survive…
