Welcome to Wakehurst Public School P&C
The Wakehurst Public School Parents & Citizens Association (P&C) is a community of parents, carers, teachers, and supporters working together to help our students thrive. We believe that strong collaboration between families and the school creates the best possible environment for every child. Our goal is to support the school, strengthen our community, and ensure every parent and carer has a voice.
What We Support
Over the years, the P&C has proudly co-funded a wide range of school-led projects that enhance our students’ learning environment.
These include:
- Playground upgrades and outdoor spaces
- Digital learning tools
- Interactive whiteboards and classroom technology
- Wi-Fi
- iPads and classroom resources
- Air conditioning in classrooms
- Flexible learning furniture
- Library resources
* As a not-for-profit organisation, all funds raised are used to support school programs, equipment, and facilities. Any additional funds are held in trust for future school needs.
How It’s Funded & Where Your Support Goes
Our school is supported through three key sources, working together to provide the best possible environment for our students:
- Government Funding — supports teachers, core learning, and school operations
- Parent Contributions and P&C Fundraising & Services — funds additional projects, programs, and improvements, enhance classroom resources and student experiences
Together, these make a real difference in what our school can offer.
Everything we do is connected — from funding and fundraising to the projects that directly benefit our students.

The school band is a vibrant and much-loved part of our school community, run by a dedicated team of parent volunteers.
As a self-funded sub-committee of the P&C, the band relies on fundraising and community support to provide students with the opportunity to learn, perform, and grow their love of music.
Funds raised go directly towards supporting the band program, including instruments, equipment, and resources that help students thrive.
New volunteers are always warmly welcome, and any donation — big or small — is truly appreciated.
Each year, we organise a wide range of events that bring our community together while raising funds for important school projects and initiatives.
Each year group contributes by organising a fundraising event, helping support resources and opportunities beyond government funding.
There are many ways to get involved:
- Volunteering at events
- Helping with planning or preparation
- Donating goods or services
- Sharing your skills (e.g. organising, catering, marketing, creating)
If you’d like to get involved, please contact: fundraising@wpspandc.com
We understand that not everyone is able to volunteer their time. If you’d still like to support the school, you can do so through a donation — every contribution is truly appreciated.
Our Grounds Committee works in partnership with staff and families to help care for and improve the school environment — creating spaces where our children can learn, play, and thrive.
Throughout the year, we organise Working Bees, where families come together to maintain and enhance the school grounds. These are not only incredibly helpful in keeping the school looking its best, but also a lovely way to connect with other parents and be part of the school community.
We warmly encourage all families to join in when they can — even coming along once a year makes a meaningful difference.
A special part of our school grounds is the Tracey Albon Community Garden, dedicated to the memory of a much-loved teacher. This space is cared for by students and staff, and continues to be a place of learning, reflection, and connection.
Our P&C meetings are a great way to stay informed, connect with other families, and be part of what’s happening at our school.
We come together regularly to share updates, discuss ideas, and work collaboratively with the school to support our students and community.
Meetings are held twice each term:
- Week 3 — online via Zoom
- Week 8 — in the school staffroom
Time: 7:00pm
Everyone is warmly welcome — there’s no need to join the committee or take on a role. You’re welcome to simply come along, listen in, and get a feel for what we do.
Being involved, even in a small way, helps strengthen our school community and ensures parents and carers have a voice.
If you’d like to find out more or have any questions, please contact: secretary@wpspandc.com
We’d love to see you there and welcome new faces.
