What We Do
What We Do
The Algester P&C Association works to raise funds to buy infrastructure and services to donate back to the school. We also liaise with the local and school communities to host various events and initiatives throughout the school calendar year with the aim of supporting various ongoing donations including:
Prep year gifts
Year 6 Graduation
School murals
Chaplain program
Principal's Afternoon Tea
RISE Program (for family support)
The P&C Executive and Committee support a small core of paid business unit employees. Each year the Executive is vacated and interested parties can nominate or be nominated to take on a leadership role. Applications to join the P&C can be made at any point with new members being voted upon and confirmed at the monthly general meetings.
Thank you for your ongoing support and contributions!
P&C Meetings
P&C Meetings
The P&C has a monthly meeting on the third Tuesday of each month during term time.
Meetings kick off at 6pm and are held in the Algester State School Staff Room (admin block), or when notified, in the AMAC next to the Library. Everyone is welcome and this is your chance to hear about activities and events planned for the coming year.
Parents and Citizens can attend the meetings and if you like, can also join for the year - becoming a member allows you to vote on various motions put forward to direct the progress of our team. You don't have to be a member to attend, but if you'd like to join the P&C and have access to voting rights and minutes of the meetings, please submit your 2026 Membership application here.

Drakes Community Dollars
Thank you to everyone who continues to choose the Algester State School P&C Association as the recipient of their Drakes Supermarket Community Dollars.
For doing no more than scanning the Drakes app (or keytag) when you do your groceries, Drakes will donate 1c for every $1 spent.
The amount at the end of December 2024 showed nearly $800 earmarked for Algester P&C, and this was nearly doubled by July 2025 - amazing!
Drakes have changed the program slightly and the cycle now goes from July - July. Already, in January 2025, we're on track to meet or beat the 2025 result.
FYI: We use these dollars to help fund things like the Principal's Afternoon Tea - which is a special honour for students to attend, and to supplement tuckshop stock purchases and supplies for various events - which helps keep overall costs down.
So, if you do your groceries at the local Drake's supermarket - or have relatives who shop at their local store - please consider activating the Community Dollars app and scanning each time a purchase is made. Every little bit helps!
