Social Subcommittee
The Social Committee is a group of parents and carers of students at TPS who are interested in getting together to raise much needed funds for our school. However, we are not just about raising money - we are about creating fun events and activities for the whole school community. Last year we raised just over $10K which will go towards a new multimedia studio in the Babajen!
There are many different roles to fill on the committee some are behind the scenes planning, designing, marketing and promotions, some setting up stalls, selling cakes or flipping a sausage or two..
