Parents’ association

One of the key areas of the Strategic Plan is Celebrating Community and, while there are many ways that we do this at St Andrew’s, a very important group within the School that works towards this goal is the St Andrew’s School Parents’ Association.

The St Andrew’s School Parents’ Association is a lively, energetic, vital part of our School.

The objectives and purposes of the Association are:

To promote cooperation and closer relations between parents and the School
To cultivate an active interest in the life of the School
To foster a spirit of positive fellowship amongst parents, staff and friends of the School
To provide financial assistance for the development of the School’s facilities and teaching resources

The Association plays a significant role in building the community spirit of the School. Its events and functions provide opportunity for parents and staff to gather together in a spirit of fun and fellowship, and your support is greatly appreciated.

Funds raised are used to purchase equipment and additional resources that benefit our students. Recently these purchases included:

LCD televisions for the Early Learning Centre and Year 7
Gym equipment for the new Gymnasium & Performing Arts Centre
Music equipment, including a Keyboard Laboratory
Interactive whiteboards
Shade sails for the Reception sandpit
Extension of the Upper Primary play space
Equipment for STEM activities throughout all School Year levels
Donation to Masterplan $50 000
Donation to Masterplan $15 000

Above all, the Parents’ Association is a vehicle for growing our community networks. Everyone is welcome to be involved. There are two meetings each term. The dates of all Parents’ Association meetings are listed in the School Bell (weekly newsletter). Parents interested in supporting the School through the Parents’ Association should contact the School Office.
