FUNdraising team
FUNdraising team
Our FUNdraising team are busy coming up with some creative ways to help the school pay for extra resources for our kids, and having fun too!
For example, we ran a Bunnings sausage sizzle during a short lift in lockdown that raised $1144 for a community garden, and we hope to host a silent auction early in 2022. Click here or contact Matthew Schulz (fundraising convenor) if you can help or have ideas about things to sell, or would like to join our lively crew.

Buildings and Grounds
We are excited to share information about the forthcoming Nugal-nganjin garden near our specialist block. This Woi-wurrung name means 'ours' and represents the the garden will belong to the whole school community. We have to thank Aunty Gail from the Wurundjeri Tribe who has provided the name for us. You can see the plan below, if you have any skills to help us get this built please let us know by contacting Aasta through the school office or Steve Hardman, our amazing chair of the Buildings and Grounds Subcommittee. The garden will feature plants that are representative of our community, as well as a number of native plants the represent our connection to the local area.
