Gifts
Detailed information on these topics can be found in the Departmental Code
of Conduct, available from your school.
All gifts given or received must be:
- reported at P&C meetings
- recorded in the minutes
- reported in the newsletter.
Giving
Money raised by the P&C is to enhance the educational opportunities
of current students. Only in exceptional circumstances should funds be used
for purchasing gifts, dinners, wreaths or similar.
Low-value mementos such as key rings, coasters, spoons, and mugs may be
appropriate gifts on some occasions.
Receiving
Be careful about accepting gifts or benefits from suppliers if there is
a possibility that a conflict of interest could occur. The ideal solution
is to avoid all such situations completely.
Gifts of money to individual P&C members should always be refused. Donations
to the P&C may be accepted to help the association achieve its objectives.
The details of gifts valued at more than $250 must be provided to the school
for reporting purposes.
