Support a Project, Get Involved
Volunteering is great fun and an important way to support the school, make great friends and of course, your kids love family involvement at the school. Volunteers are parents, carers, grandparents, community members.
Each year, the Fundraising & Events team organises a wide range of fun activities for children and families to enjoy. These events are essential for raising funds to support school projects, programs and equipment that are not covered by government funding.
Ways to get involved
Year group Organised Events
To help fund these important resources, we ask each Year Group to organise one fundraising event each year. The Fundraising & Events calendar will be available soon — this is where you’ll find your Year Group’s assigned event and details about what we’ll be fundraising for.
We truly appreciate your support!!
P&C Meeting
Attending a P&C meeting is a great way to get involved, stay informed, and hear what’s coming up at the school. Everyone is welcome to join.
The P&C meets twice each term:
- Week 3 – via Zoom
- Week 8 – in the school staffroom
All meetings begin at 7:00pm.
Everyone is Welcome
You do not need to join the committee or hold an official position to attend. Simply come along to listen, learn, or contribute to what is happening at our school.
Being part of the P&C helps you stay informed, gives you a voice, and offers the opportunity to get involved in a way that suits you — whether that’s regularly or just occasionally.
We would love to see you there and always welcome new faces.
Canteen
The canteen is open five days a week and is a fun place to volunteer, whether it be one day a week, once a fortnight, once a month, once a term or even once a year. At Wakehurst, mums, dads, grandparents, aunts and uncles are all encouraged to volunteer as we believe it is the perfect place to meet new people and make new friends. The children are always delighted to see a familiar face behind the counter!
Sign up by clicking the button bellow or email our Canteen Manager at canteen@wpspandc.com.
Uniform Shop
We invite parents and carers to join our team as volunteers in the Uniform Shop.
As a volunteer, you’ll support the shop manager with general tasks. No prior experience is required, and you’re welcome to help as often or as little as suits you.
Band
The band is a self-funded sub-committee of the Wakehurst Parents and Citizens Association, managed by a team of parent volunteers.
To operate effectively and share the workload, the committee relies on a small team of 3–4 volunteers. New volunteers are always welcome — whether you can assist at performances, band camps, or weekly rehearsals.
You can also support our band by making an online donation. All funds raised go directly towards developing band programs and upgrading equipment and instruments.
We are very grateful for any contribution, big or small. Thank you for your support.
Fundraising & Events
Each year, the Fundraising & Events team organises a wide range of fun activities for children and families to enjoy. These events are essential for raising funds to support school projects, programs and equipment that are not covered by government funding.
There are many ways to get involved:
Volunteering your time in person at a P&C event or fundraiser - this could be helping to plan the event, donating goods for sale, helping to set up on the day, cooking on the barbecue, or packing up after an event.
Volunteering your services in the preparation of a P&C event or fundraiser. Or contribute your skill (painting, creating, catering, organising, marketing, grant writing or other).
We understand that not everyone can volunteer their time. If you would like to support the school in another way, you can make a financial contribution using the button below.
Every donation is greatly appreciated. Thank you for supporting our school community.
Grounds
The Grounds Committee is a sub-committee of the P&C which works in consultation with staff and parents to maintain the school grounds.
Working Bees
The Grounds Committee organises working bees several times a year to help keep the school grounds in top shape. Working bees not only reduce overall maintenance costs to the school, they also provide a great opportunity to meet other families.Â
Some working bee tasks include pruning, sweeping, weeding and mowing. Gardening experience is not required! All families are encouraged to attend at least one working bee each year. Details of upcoming working bees are advertised in 'The Billboard' and across our social media.
If you are interested in becoming involved with the Grounds Committee's activities, or have some gardening knowledge, please contact grounds@wpspandc.com or click the button bellow.
