How does the P&C support the school?

Our P&C contributes to many aspects of our school.

2024 has already been an exciting year for the school, with the opening of newly refurbished Canteen, Uniform Shop and store room following the devastating flood in 2022.

For the P&C this meant:

· Facilitating the Community Building Partnership (CBP) grant to support the rennovation and expansion of the canteen.

· Organising special lunches and a temporary canteen service for the students.

· Fundraising initiatives that resulted in nearly $28,000 profit for the P&C in 2023, an outstanding achievement.

· Contributing approximately $16,000 of P&C funds to purchasing quality equipment for the new canteen.

· Successfully applying for and receiving a $20,000 grant for the new school electronic sign.

· Contributing $7000 on new PSSA (Public Schools Sporting Association) sporting team uniforms.
