School P&C to apply for grants

 

The Woy Woy Public School P&C will be applying for several school grants over the coming months.

The grants will include the NRMA Community Grant, the Woolworths Fresh Food for Kids Community Grant, the Community Development and Support Expenditure Scheme and the Gosford Council Community Grant.

The P&C will be applying for $5000 from the NRMA Community Grant.

"This money would allow us to further extend the community garden with work commencing in term 3 and concluding in term 4," P&C president Ms Julie Stevens said.

"Some of the funding would be used to pay for continued support from Equilibrium Eco Services and the rest for plants and other garden materials.

"This application has already been lodged with the decision pending in May."

Ms Stevens said another $5000 would be applied for from the Woolworths Fresh Food for Kids Community Grant.

Ms Stevens said this would be most likely used for either a combination of soccer and rugby fixed posts and properly drawn out soccer and rugby fields at the school oval, or for a fixed play zone.

Approximately $10,000 would be sourced from the Community Development and Support Expenditure Scheme.

"Current thinking is to ask for support for a portable stage to compliment our new COLA (Covered Outdoor Learning Area) but other ideas could be considered," Ms Stevens said.

About $5000 would be requested from Gosford Council's Community Grant.

"We could apply under a number of categories where the aim of the grant is to support individuals and groups to join together to create a healthy, active and inclusive community."
