The school enjoys tremendous support from its parent community. If you have any spare time there is always an opportunity to help in some area either as a reading tutor, accompanying class groups on excursions, covering books in the library, maintaining the school grounds or computer work. Your help is highly valued by the staff and always appreciated. PARENT INFORMATION School fundraising initiatives are coordinated in conjunction with the staff, by the school's Parents & Citizens Association (P&C). In recent years the P&C have organised discos, various appeals (eg bushfire), Trivia Nights, raffles and many other activities. The P&C is also a great supporter of school organised fund raising such as the a-thons and Pedlar's Parade. The funds raised through these different activities help to provide additional resources, school programs and equipment which might not otherwise be available due to funding constraints.
