Fundraising

Fundraising: In support of special school based initiatives or service learning projects, philanthropic fundraising events may occur. Raising money for school initiatives enriches students’ lives by allowing the purchase of items that are outside the school budget, while supporting charity organisations serves the specific purpose of educating students about meaningful issues while supporting the organisations who address these issues. In each instance, we will ask that students go beyond just raising money, with an aim to develop skills in service learning, maths, communication, collaboration, needs assessments, and critical thinking. 

Fundraising projects should be run through the divisional school leadership teams prior to commencing. The school will evaluate causes and the recipients to ensure they are legitimate. Fundraising should never be for personal gain, and the methods for fundraising should comply with the school’s values. Money gained from fundraising should be turned into the Primary School Office for safe holding until the money is sent to the recipient. Individuals who wish to promote their own business during school events or on school grounds should first seek permission from school leadership.
