Our Fundraising Goals for 2026 and Beyond<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Building a Better\nSchool for Our Kids<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The JPPS P&C works alongside the school to identify projects that make a real and lasting difference to our children's learning environment. This page gives our parent community a clear picture of what we're working toward over the next few years \u2014 what we've already started, what we have our sights set on, and how you can help us get there.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t
Already underway: Classroom Support<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t

In 2026, the P&C remains committed to continuing to improve the learning environment at JPPS \u2014 and our classroom support program is a testament to that commitment. Over the last three years, the P&C has contributed a total of $144,972 to the school<\/strong> \u2014 funding that has gone directly toward computers, Promethean interactive screens, and a language support teacher. These are not small gestures; they represent our community's dedication to giving every child here the best possible start.

The Promethean screen rollout is well underway \u2014 with installation now more than halfway through the school's classrooms. The remaining classrooms are still to be updated as part of the program, and we are committed to seeing it through to completion.

We're excited for every student and teacher to benefit as the rollout continues. Looking ahead, one of our ongoing goals is to continue upgrading technology across all classrooms \u2014 ensuring every student has access to modern tools that support the way they learn today and into the future.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\/\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t
Our priority upgrades: The Outdoors<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t

If you've spent time in the school grounds recently, you'll have noticed that our outdoor spaces are due for some love. These are the priorities we're committed to delivering over the coming years, all aimed at the same goal: giving our kids more reasons to get outside, move, and learn \u2014 while keeping them better protected from the sun.

Shaded Seating & Outdoor Learning Areas<\/strong>
Our outdoor spaces should be places where students genuinely want to spend time \u2014 comfortable, shaded, and inviting. We want to see better surfaces, more engaging features, and areas that are safer and more accessible, so that outdoor learning and play become a natural part of every school day.

We are proud to share that the upgrade of the outdoor bench seating has been approved <\/strong>and fully funded by the P&C \u2014 our way of giving back to the school. At our May General Meeting, members approved $15,500 to deliver five brand new benches to the school's general outdoor learning areas<\/strong>, giving students comfortable, accessible spaces to gather, learn, and connect throughout the day.

This is your P&C community fundraising at work, directly delivering something tangible for every student at JPPS. Things are well and truly in motion. Watch this space!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t
How we'll fund it - and how you can help<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t

These are not small ambitions, and we'll need strong community support to bring them to life. Our approach to fundraising is deliberately varied \u2014 rather than relying on any single source, we run a range of community events and school initiatives throughout the year, each one building toward our longer-term goals while also being an occasion to bring families together.

From breakfasts and stalls to seasonal celebrations and whole-school activities, these events are only possible because of the generosity and enthusiasm of our school community. When families show up, volunteer their time, and participate in what we run \u2014 that is what makes the difference. We are genuinely grateful for the support our community brings to every event we organise, and we hope to see that spirit continue in the years ahead.

Alongside our community events, we are also actively pursuing corporate and local business sponsorships. We have sponsorship packages available at a range of contribution levels, which means there are multiple ways for businesses to get involved and have their name associated with real, visible improvements at JPPS. Whether a business wants to sponsor a shaded seating area, contribute to the outdoor play upgrade, or support our program more broadly \u2014 there is a place for them in what we're building.

If you know a local business that might be interested in getting involved, we would love an introduction. And if you'd like to play a more active role in the P&C or our fundraising activities, please reach out \u2014 every pair of hands makes a genuine difference.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t

2026 Voluntary Contributions & Building Fund<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The 2026 P&C Voluntary Contribution remains unchanged at $82.50 per family \u2014 and every dollar\ngoes directly back into the school. <\/p>

In recent years, these funds have helped deliver a number of\nimportant technological items to support teaching and learning across the school \u2014 ensuring our\nstudents gain the very best advantage in their education. These contributions have helped fund\nstudent laptops across all year groups, Promethean screens in our brick buildings, and projectors\nand screens in the demountable classrooms.<\/p>

We’d also encourage families to consider contributing\n$50 to the school’s Building Fund, which will support ongoing improvements and upgrades to\nschool facilities now and into the future \u2014 and as an added benefit, Building Fund donations are\ntax deductible <\/b>and can be claimed in your tax return.<\/span><\/p>\n
