This committee has been established with one clear objective in mind. This is to seek out grants and initiaives that are suitable for financing projects that can enhance our school community. The Grants Committee will work along side the Fundraising Committee sourcing and providing necessary funds that will advance our school further than otherwise could be achieved.
Our climbing wall was opened in 2023 after a few years of delay due to covid lockdowns and bad weather! This wall has been invaluable to our students to improve their arm strength and gross motor skills, particularly in very urban school setting with not a lot of play space. We thank members of the Grants committee who worked tirelessly on this project.

Our bright and cheery front fence artwork by local artist, Kim Siew, was made possible thanks to this grant. Additional funds raised by the fundraising committee made it a reality.
A 39Kw solar panel system was installed at Ashfield Public School in 2022. This was made possible with thanks to the Community Building Partnership, Solar my School and Inner West Council.
We received a Junior Landcare grant to revitalise our vegetable gardens. This was beneficial to increase the exposure to gardening to many of our students who don't have gardens at home. We also have built a relationship with the Exodus foundation.
