School Board and P&C
Carson Street has been blessed with a very active and enthusiastic parent’s group over the last 16 years. The meetings are held twice each term. MEMBERS
FUNDRAISING
The main fundraiser for the school is our annual quiz night, which is usually held in September. Over the years the P & C has paid for the air conditioning of the classrooms in the school and provided valuable therapy equipment. This year they are raising funds to improve our playground and make recess more challenging and entertaining for the students. Other smaller fundraisers occur during the year including lamington drives, toothbrush selling, chocolates and even toys for Christmas (through Kangaroo Trading Co.).
