Events & Fundraising

EVENTS UPDATE           

Our Events & Fundraising Committee have been working hard to put together a program for 2024 that appeals to everyone at South Melbourne Park.  Below are some SAVE THE DATE reminders.

These events cannot happen, however, without the support of our wonderful community.

The event dates have been approved by council and the skeleton outlines for most of the events are now in place.  We are now calling upon our SMPPS community to support by being part of the working groups that ensure these events can happen.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

Check out our sign up genius and put your name down if you would like to be part of the working group that puts these events together.  You can donate as little or as much time as you can, we are grateful for all and any support.  We are looking for: 

• People who enjoy leading a group and delivering an outcome (you should sign up to be a Project Manager)
• People who are creative and like to channel that creativity into a wonderful school event (could be decorations or theming or graphic design etc)
• People who are “doers” – those that like to get a spreadsheet and tick things off the list
• People with different ideas as to how to run an event
• People who have connections/like to seek donations of goods or services to our events
• People who just like to help in whatever way is required 

You don’t have to be an “events person” you just need to be open to ideas, be able to work in a team and have the interests of SMPPS and its kids at the heart.

If any of the above sounds like you or even if it doesn’t but you would like to help out please sign up below.  Remember – many hands make light work!

If donating your time is not an option for you but you would like to help out you can also donate money via Qkr:

1. Download the Qkr App
2. Go to South Melbourne Park Primary School
3. Choose ‘Misc school item/Donations’
4. Choose ‘Support your School Donations’
5. Make your donation

These donations can then be used to help cover the hard costs of putting on the event.  It is all voluntary of course.

HAVE A FUNDRAISING OR EVENT IDEA?

We’d love to hear it! If you have a fundraising or event idea please let us know.  You need to email smpps.fundraising@gmail.com and let us know the following:

• What event or fundraising initiative you are proposing:
  • Where
  • When 
  • What
• How it would be rolled out/who would manage it
• What you require in terms of support (either financial or volunteer/staffing)

We will then review and come back to you with any questions.  Once approved at a Committee level it then has to go to School Council for final approval.
