ASPS Parents Association 2025

2025 Overview

The Parents’ Association would like to thank the school community for their ongoing support in 2025.

This year saw a new PA leadership team and lots of new faces taking on 12 events, 4 fundraising initiatives (Colour Run, Movie night, chargrilled Charlie’s fundraiser, and Cocktail night) and helped coordinate or assist in 6 school events. All of these have been very well supported by the whole school resulting in the PA raising more than $80,000 of which we have been able to contribute $33,000 of profit back to the school.

Thanks to Sam Patil for your leadership and guidance in 2025 in the role of President. The school community will miss you dearly in 2026. We're excited for 2026 with a new team of 10 led by Necole Reszka and welcome anyone else interested in joining.

Next week post stepping up day (Tuesday 9th) the ASPS 2026 WhatsApp community will be open with class groups set up in preparation for 2026 so keep your eyes out for updates and the sign up sheet for 2026 Class Representatives. We wish you all a happy and safe holiday season.

Sam, Necole, and Emma on behalf of the entire 2025 PA team.
