2024/25 Project - Sports Courts.

We are very excited to announce that our major project for 2024 / 2025 is to resurface the school sports courts. This project will cost $30,000 but will make a huge difference to both the look of the school and the usability of the sports courts by both students and the community. We are already on our way to the goal with $8000 raised by the Learnathon, $1500 from the Spring Fling & $1200 from Pet Day. Watch this space as we look for major sponsors to help add to the fund raising total.

Total Raised: $10,700 of $30,000






2024 Learnathon

Our 2024 Learnathon is now complete and thanks to you we raised over $8000.
This is a huge result for the first ever event and we look forward to taking the 'learnings' from this forward to an even bigger and better Learnathon in 2025.

Check out the individual results below.
