Parents and Friends Association
Join the Fundraising Committee – We Need Your Help!
We are looking for enthusiastic parents to join our Fundraising Committee and help make this year’s initiatives a success! Your involvement will directly impact our students, supporting activities, events, and resources that enrich their education. Whether you have a little or a lot of time to spare, your contribution will make a difference.
We will be holding our first Fundraising Meeting for 2026 next Thursday 19th February at 6:30pm in the GRPS Staffroom.
Students often reflect highlights of the year involved fundraising events such as the Disco and Fun Run, and the Parent Trivia Night is always not to be missed. We are looking for your help to ensure we keep these traditions alive. If you would like to help or are interested in learning more about fundraising please join us for our first meeting.
Please rest assured that you don’t need to come to every meeting or help at every event. Many hands make light work, and it would be wonderful to see lots of new faces at the meeting to learn more about the events organised for the year.
Last year we had our most successful year of Fundraising thus far. The school are working towards upgrades for our playground.

Easter Raffle
In the coming weeks, each family will receive a book of raffle tickets priced at $1 each. We ask that you please return your money and ticket butts clearly named and include a phone number. The raffle will be drawn at an Easter Assembly in the last week of term.
Easter Raffle Donations
To support the raffles success, we ask for donations to make up the many prizes the raffle is famous for. Blocks and boxes of chocolates, bags of Easter eggs, chocolate bunnies, Easter crafts, decorations and books are all great ideas for donations. Last year we had over 30 prizes and the children loved it!
Donations can be sent with the children or dropped at the Office.
Silent Auction Donations
We welcome any families that are able to provide goods or services that could be used for auction items, raffle or game prizes at our Trivia Night in Term 2 (Date TBA).
We estimate that we will attract around 150 people from the local area and beyond. By promoting your company through donated items, your business will receive excellent exposure. In return for your donation, we are also able to offer the following:
- Your company/business name on our website and Facebook page.
- A Certificate of Appreciation to display on your business premises; and
- Advertising in the weekly school newsletter.
Please contact Alisha Clark via Compass if you would be able to support the Silent Auction via a donation and we look forward to announcing the date of the event in upcoming newsletters.
All money raised this year will be used for the following initiatives: upgrades to the junior playground.
