Freshwater Parent’s & Citizen’s Association (P & C)

​​

Supporting our children​

The P&C works together with the school community to achieve mutual goals for our school community. In 2023 to 2024, the P &C has achieved several achievements for the school including:

• The full-scale convening of the Freshie School fete, which is a community event that celebrates everything our local community has to offer. In 2023, the decision was made to change the fete to a Friday night and what resulted was a great success and profit that was able to be distributed back to the school.
• The successful decision to fully fund a Senior School playground.
• Preparing successful grant submissions resulting in funding for the Senior School playground, new equipment for the OSHC, fitness circuit and musical instruments.
• Contribute generously to the Freshwater State School annual implementation plan with $30,000 being donated annually.
• Purchasing musical equipment, sporting uniforms, seating, a quality BBQ​​ and undertaking a fridge replacement program for the school.
  
• Revamping the Freshie Café, our tuckshop, with resourcing of a team of new friendly faces, dedicated to providing healthy food for our children.
• Operating an outside school hours care service and working with the OSHC manager to apply for more spaces in order to cater for the increase in enrolments at our school.​

How can I make a difference?

Parents of children who attend Freshwater State School, along with citizens in the local community can join to become a member and attend meetings. Meetings are held twice a term on a Monday, at 6pm in the school staffroom at the administration building. Notifications are in the school newsletter and on the electronic school sign.

I would strongly encourage you to join with us as we work alongside the school to provide continuous improvement of school facilities and increase resources for our children's education. The P&C is also a great way to meet other parents and become part of the Freshwater State School community spirit.
