P&C Annual General Meeting
The P&C AGM was held on Wednesday 14th November 2018. The 2018 P&C continued their great progress in raising money for the school and donated over $60 000 to Fort Street in 2018. These funds purchased equipment for different departments, funded the canteen area refurbishment and is contributing to the library refurbishment.
