Why do we Fundraise?
Government funding only covers costs to a certain point and therefore to bring to life special projects and programs the CCPS P&C conducts additional fundraising throughout the year. This allows us to go beyond the ‘basics’, which are provided by the government through our taxes, to provide materials and experiences that further enrich and extend the students’ education. This funding also makes available to teachers a wider range of professional development and resources.
Towards the end of each year the P&C meets with the Principal to identify where P&C contributions can make the biggest difference in our children’s primary school outcomes and experience.
From this meeting we then build an annual budget to present at our final P&C meeting for the year. Once this budget is approved it sets the basis for the next years fundraising activities.
