Business In Service to the Community (BISC): supports local schools with financial help.It’s all about the kids!
BISC is a networking organisation of business people who are community minded and are looking for opportunities to meet like minded business people while supporting local schools with their financial contributions.
All members feature on the website and are also published in all of the schools’ newsletters. There is also a business card holder in the entrance to each school, where members’ business cards are displayed.
BISC meets monthly giving the opportunity to network with the other BISC members. Our mission is to donate money raised from the yearly subscriptions, to be used for such things as sports equipment, books, solar panels and other items schools may need.
The schools that benefit are Pt Chevalier Primary, Westmere School, Pasadena Intermediate and Western Springs College. Members do not have to have children at any of the schools and may choose to appoint a staff member to represent the company.
There is no school zone boundary restrictions so if you want your business featured on the school websites just follow the ‘JOIN NOW’ toggle and follow the prompts.
BISC is designed to present members and businesses with the opportunity to:
• market their products and services to the 2000+ families in the local school communities
• meet other business people through Network get-togethers
• support Pt Chevalier School, Westmere School and Pasadena Intermediate and Western Springs College, through the donation of the nominal ‘joining fee’.
The BISC website is an opportunity and an environment where businesses can showcase their services and goods to the school communities.
Who is behind BISC?
Originally, BISC was organised and managed by a small group of parents of Point Chevalier School students who either have their own business or are employees of businesses. However this has now grown and includes parents from Westmere School, Pasadena Intermediate and Western Springs College plus businesses not connected with the schools.
This initiative has the full support of Point Chevalier School PTA, Westmere School Parents Net, Pasadena Intermediate CAPS, Western Springs College Parent Action Group, their Board of Trustees and school management.
How will Pt Chevalier School, Westmere School, Pasadena Intermediate and Western Springs College benefit from BISC?
Your membership fee, less any associated costs, will be donated directly to the schools. BISC is fully audited.
