P&C raises over $37,000

Woy Woy Public School P&C has broken its fundraising record this year, raising over $37,000 for the school.

P&C president Ms Julie Stevens told the school's presentation ceremony: "The P&C raised over $37,000 in 2007 to meet the needs of the school's wish list.

"The P&C funded $12,000 for a portable laptop unit and 12 laptops, $2325 towards the Sports in Schools Program just after the bad weather weekend in June when some families were financially affected, $6000 towards replacement of the small COLA, $3000 for reading resources and $1250 towards other items, a total contribution back into school of $26,575.

"A further $18,622 has already been agreed for allocation in Term 1, 2008, for items to enhance the new large COLA that the school will get as part of the Investing in our Schools funding program.

"In 2007, the P&C also made huge effort to secure several grant successes with a total for the year of $108,000.

"This is a tremendous effort and again another record breaker.

"All P&Cs rely a lot on parent and carer support and it is estimated that Woy Woy Public School clocked up over 2500 volunteer hours to support fundraising and other school activity in 2007 again a major achievement."
