St Ives Public School P&C Association
Voluntary contributions

Public school is free.
The extras aren't.

Your voluntary contribution bridges the gap. It makes up over half of what the P&C raises each year, more than every event put together.

Where it goes

Your contribution helps fund

Every dollar goes back into your child's learning. These are the programs families' contributions keep running.

  • STEMAdditional teaching hours and equipment
  • Music, dance and dramaBand, performances and equipment
  • Classroom technologyDevices and learning tools
  • Wellbeing and online safetyPrograms for every class
  • Classroom and garden resourcesThe things that make lessons hands-on
Voluntary, but vital

Without it, these programs could be cut.

The extras that make SIPS special rely on families. When every family contributes, every child gets the full SIPS experience.
