Our purpose is to enhance the facilities at our school to benefit the students and in turn to benefit the wider community. 

Our main activities for this period have been various fundraising events as outlined in our financial statement. This year our fundraising activities were well attended as we came out of the global pandemic. 

Our main goal was to support students, parents and teachers with additional educational tools  to further enhance the teaching program. This year we directed our efforts at encouraging whole school participation in fun activities, rebuilding our school community, promoting positive mental health and encouraging physical fitness.
