P&C Voluntary Contribution

The CHPS P&C has chosen not to run major fundraisers throughout the school year. Major fundraising events are incredibly time consuming to organise and can be a burden on already time weary parents.  We have opted instead to fundraise through requesting a P&C voluntary contribution at the start of the school year. 100% of this voluntary contribution is invested directly back into to our school community. Families are free to give as much or as little as they want.  Requesting a voluntary contribution allows us to forward plan for major projects and improvements we would like to undertake around the school.  We are fortunate an incredibly generous, supportive and active parent body which has allowed the P&C to purchase and implement a wide range of infrastructure (both technological and recreational) as well as educational resources for the school. 

Key points about the P&C Voluntary Contribution

  • Currently set at $150.00 per student / $200.00 per family. 
  • 100% of these funds are returned to the school through a variety of projects, improving infrastructure and enhancing educational resources benefitting the whole school.
  • Allows us to plan for large scale projects and yearly commitments to resources.
