The school relies heavily on funds coming from the initiatives set out and managed by the P&C. Initiatives include events such as our Welcome to Boronia BBQ, Mothers’ and Fathers’ Day Stalls, Parents’ night, Spring High Tea and Activitython as well as the canteen, uniform shop, school gardens, SLSO’s (School Learning Support Officers) and ad hoc items. All of these P&C initiatives enhance the features and benefits of Boronia Park Public school.
The success of our P&C is held entirely in the hands of our parents and carers who volunteer. These individuals are instrumental in contributing to our fantastic school environment. The fruits of their labour can be enjoyed by the children learning in air-conditioned and well-equipped classrooms, cavorting in the well-maintained playground, using new sports equipment and borrowing new books from the library or receiving some extra support from a school learning support officer.
