The Community Council met last Tuesday and took the opportunity to reflect on 2024 and discuss the year ahead.

We were pleased to hear the new AV system is up and running in the school hall. It has proved to be a fantastic improvement to the school and a worthy fundraising project for the P&F to contribute to.

Andrew and Breen provided us with an update on the school’s plans for a new fence and gates to be installed at the top carpark and near the large oval which will enhance safety.

We also considered ideas for the P&F’s next major fundraising project. We agreed to explore options to upgrade to the top “mini-oval” which always turns in a bit of a dust bowl by the end of Term 2. Stay tuned for updates on P&F fundraising projects.

The Council would like to thank those who have put their hand up to help organise the Easter raffle and egg hunt and our major fundraising dinner which I am really excited for after the pause last year. The dinner will be a great opportunity to meet new parents and connect as a community without the chaos of our kids running around. I hope you’ll keep Saturday 17 May 2025 free and come along for some fun!
