What is FAST? FAST stands for Fundraising and Social Team, and was set up as a relaxed and informal way for parents / guardians to meet and connect whilst raising funds for the school and our children.
We meet every month and plan activities, these can range from sausage sizzles to event catering, movie nights and market stalls, whatever works! New ideas are always welcome and we look forward to having you as part of our team! Our current funding priority is funding our teacher aide/s, however we also purchase equipment for the school ( musical, sporting, technical etc) and help to fund the school camp and other trips. Everone is welcome to be a part of FAST, (In fact we encourage this!) and all offers of help are appreciated.
If you would like to know more about FAST please feel free to email the address below.
