P&C NEWS
STEMS (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)
Each year the fundraising team receives vouchers from Parent Direct and Chalk. These are companies the school uses for fundraising. When parents purchase toys from their catalogues the school receives a percentage of that purchase in the form of vouchers. The P&C Executive Committee has voted to donate the vouchers from 2016 to the STEMS program. These vouchers will be used to purchase robotics and coding resources that every child in the school will eventually have access to.
Hand Sanitiser
The P&C has recently purchased hand sanitiser for every classroom in the school.
