CURRENT FUNDRAISING GOALS
Each meeting the P & C discuss where we will allocate funds. Requests can be made by the school, teachers or P&C members.
NEW FACTION FLAGS
The P&C recently contributed $2675 to purchase the new faction flags designed by indigenous Australian artist Emma Dunn and Bianca Schurman.
CROSS WALK ATTENDANT WAGES
After many years of lobbying, this year the City of Kalamunda in conjunction with Main Roads installed infrastructure for a children’s crossing. We were very excited to employ a Traffic Warden five days a week.
CANTEEN EQUIPMENT
The P&C are currently raising funds to provide the canteen with a new Pie Warmer and thermomix bowls to improve the service they are able to offer and upgrade old equipment.
PAST PROJECTS & INITIATIVES
The P+C have been committed to a holistic approach when allocating funds.
As a direct result of the generosity of the Gooseberry Hill Primary School community over the past years, the P+C have been able to fund the following projects and initiatives.
​
​
FACTION COLOURED SHELTERS​

Rasied funds to purchase new faction shelters for school faction events.
FATHERING PROJECT​
​
Funds to the Fathering Project, an initiative that works to inspire and equip dads and father figures to be the best parents they can be, for the benefit of the kids.
SENSORY BREAK PATH ​
​
P&C committed funds to support the Early Childhood area in creating a Sensory Break Path for all students to be able to use.
JUNIOR PLAYGROUND

LITERACY PRO​
​
Literacy Pro is a research-based, online assessment resource that provides teachers with evidence-based data so they are informed when making teaching/learning decisions to develop their students into successful, proficient readers. Literacy Pro is an upper school reading program which provides 200 new books to the school and half a year subscription
LEXILE READING BOOKS
​
The Lexile Framework® for Reading is a scientific approach to measuring both reading ability and the text complexity of reading materials on the same developmental scale.
DECODABLE READING BOOKS​
​
Decodable reading books that align with the most up to date, evidence based practices for beginning reading instruction in early childhood. Deodable texts are specifically written for beginning readers as they are developing their blending and segmenting skills and their knowledge of the alphabetic code. Decodable texts support students as they practise by using a continuous meaningful text.
ECE WATER PLAY AREA​

The ECE Water Play Area which Early Childhood has been actively fundraising for, led by Mrs Newman. The P+C committed to paying the outstanding amount to ensure that the area be built and ready for early 2022.
