The Social & Fundraising Committee organises events throughout the school year. Whilst most of these events encompass a fundraising component, all of them are planned to foster social relationships for parents and children to flourish and to provide them with the opportunity to feel connected to their school community.

These events include:

• Welcome Morning Tea & P&C Information Session
• Back to School Welcome BBQ
• Mothers Day Breakfast
• Mid Year Trivia night – the Annual school major fundraising event
• Father’s Day Breakfast
• Halloween fun
• Lindfield Public Staff Thank you lunch
• An end of year Christmas event

Government funding provides a great education for our children. However, through extra funds raised by the Social & Fundraising Committee and other P&C committees, our children are able to thrive in comfortable surroundings where they can concentrate, focus and achieve their best. This in turn attracts the excellent teaching staff that we have; all of whom create a positive classroom environment and encourage curiosity and a love of learning. It is thanks to funds raised in previous years that we have many of the facilities and additional specialised teaching staff we have today. This allows us to remain a progressive, high-quality school that continues to produce well-rounded students.

We have many successful initiatives thanks to the funds raised, and probably our most-significant learning-based success is the teacher support program, which pays for the employment of literacy and numeracy support teachers.

Other recent initiatives include paying for:

• renovations of the yr3-6 toilets on pool playground
• upgrading the school library furniture
• the extension and upgrade of the school hall
• the new pool seating and grandstand
• the installation of a new sound and lighting system in the hall
• the purchase of reading resources
• the purchase and installation of electronic whiteboards in all classrooms
• the installation of air conditioning to the library
• play equipment throughout the school grounds

The Social & Fundraising Committee welcomes new members. Whilst we rely on volunteers from the school community to help with each event, the Sub-Committee oversees the organising and running. This is a great Sub-Committee to be a part of if you want to get to know your school community. Being part of the social committee gives you a sense of pride and success knowing you have given something back to your children and the children of the future.
