Parents are always welcome at the school and any events such as sports days. There are also other ways you can become more actively involved in the running of the school if you wish. You may like to consider joining the PSA (Parents’ Support Association) or standing for membership on one of our boards.

PSA Goal
In the past three years the PSA has changed its emphasis from fundraising to enhancing community spirit within the school community.
Recent events that we have held with this in mind are “The Amazing Race” in March 2007 which was a fun car rally for all the family ending at the school for a sausage sizzle and prize giving; a ‘Quiz Night’ in August with fantastic prizes and a Garage Sale in October.
We also held our second Year 7 and 8 Sports Event in December 2007.
This year we hope to be holding an evening function to mark the opening of the Auditorium .
While the main emphasis of the PSA has turned to enhancing community spirit, there will still be fundraising activities, and the goal for fundraising at present is to ‘fit out’ the kitchen in the new chapel/auditorium building.
