Fundraising Events for 2026 

Surfside Primary School is reliant on parent/carer contributions to sustain our award winning Stefanie Alexander Kitchen and Garden Program. The program is fully funded by Surfside Primary School and does not receive support or funding from the Department of Education or Victorian Government. The costs incurred to the school is the maintenance of the Surfside owned kitchen building and garden, staffing, consumables, etc. We are aware that our students love the program and it is a worthwhile skill building program and we are grateful for the continued support of our school community. Throughout the year we run some major fundraising events to support the program as well as smaller events that may support a smaller engagement program or recognised charity. The following list is a snapshot of some of our major fundraising efforts to support the school and it's programs.
