FAQ

Future Decisions? What does the CPS "Best Practice Position Statement" define as a "viable" preschool? What does the CPS think about PPA and P&C mergers? What does the ACT P&C Council think about PPAs and P&C merging? We understand about the benefit - but we just can't get enough people to make it work. What does the CPS think we should do in that situation? What does the CPS think we should do? Do we have to merge with the Primary School's P&C? Can a Principal, School Board or P&C force us to wind-up?

HELP??? I CAN'T FIND THE ANSWER ... how can I contact you to add a question to this page?

Preschool Parent Associations Handover Will I receive a hard copy version, like last year? Where can I find the CPS Handover Manual for Preschool Parent Associations? Insurance What about jointly run activities between the PPA and the P&C? Now that preschools are part of the ACT Government Primary School - surely their insurance covers everything? Why do we need Contents Insurance? Surely the ACTDET have their own Professional Indemnity - again doesn't that just make our insurance so much more expensive? What do you mean - Duty of Care? What happens when the accident happens during the Preschool Program - like on an excursion? I understand about the Public Liability - but why do we need personal accident insurance - I mean that must make it a lot more expensive? What sort of insurance is a part of the CPS group package? Why do we need Insurance? We'd like to know more about the difference between insurance policy with CPS and the primary school. Treasurer Information Handing over five years of financial records? Who is the Australian Tax Office Authorised Contact? How do we manage the Change of Signatories Form? Admin Bandit Details Why do I have to arrange the Audit for an early date? Do I need to prepare a Balance Sheet? Why does the Treasurer need a copy of the Minutes from PPA meetings? What do I do with the Admin Bandit Data Files? How do I organise all the Treasurer's End of year reports? Why do you "Re-bank the float"? What does it mean to "Reconcile"? What does "finalise all transactions" mean? What do I need to do to approving payments that will happen after the end of the PPA's financial year? Where can I find an Auditor - we don't have one? Voluntary Contributions I received and paid for the supply of a Primary School Resource Pack for my preschooler. Does that mean I don't have to pay the PPA their resource donation? This is my first child in Preschool. The PPA have asked for $50 per term. What would be expected for the amount of the Primary School voluntary contribution? Does that mean that parents of Preschool children will be asked to contribute to BOTH the PPA and the School? Is that fair - parents of children in the other years of the Primary School only get asked once? Help! Our Principal has just told me that all the money received from parents is to be banked into the Primary School's bank account - is that what is meant to happen? General Assistance It might be too late to ask as it's all in the recycle bin now, but.... How long do we keep records for? We've just emptied the filing cabinets of everything except the last 5 years. Have we done the wrong thing?
