Parents & Friends Club
We have an active Parent and Friends Club who support Carrum Downs through their fundraising efforts throughout the year. Each year the money raised goes to major projects that parents wish to see their children gain direct benefit and helps create a pleasant and friendly learning environment.
Over the last 4 years, the fundraising has been used to provide: dedicated Prep play equipment; Interactive whiteboards in every classroom; Air conditioning across the school. Any support you are able to provide the club is greatly appreciated. Look out for the times of meetings during the year and or events where you are able to help.
We also have a very active parent involvement program within each classroom. There is the usual help in reading with children and general classroom help, assistance during excursions and camps. These events are highly popular and we try to share these events across the parent population. We have great parent support for sports events, and whole school activities such as – Walktober, twilight sports; house sports etc. The Human Power Vehicle competitions began in 2008 which require students, parents and teachers working together in partnership to run these events. If you are able to assist in the school in any small way, please contact your child’s teacher for your information as to how you are able to be involved.
