Getting Involved
How can you help?
The success of Friends depends entirely on the support of all parents, staff, the children and the community.
We need involvement from parents both to run the committee and to support fundraising events. Without our support the school would be unable to keep its resources up to date and interesting for our children, also key school development projects would take significantly longer to achieve.
Getting involved gives you the opportunity to contribute to the school while getting to know other parents in an informal and friendly environment.
We greatly appreciate any assistance. This can be anything from a little time spent helping out in the background, to coming along to the functions with friends and family or by joining the "Friends" committee.
Easy Ways to Support the School
Bags2School
Every term we arrange for a collection of unwanted clothing items, bedding, bags, belts and shoes. The amount we collect is weighed and the school receives a payment based on the weight collected. Dates are communicated via the newsletter and website and bags issued to all families.
Support the school by saving all your unwanted items and just drop them off by the gate on collection day.
