OUR COMMUNITY TEAM

​“Community begins from getting involved and being connected”

​This can look like many different things for each of us including attendance at meetings; offering insights and positive feedback; making yourself available by volunteering with community team events and initiatives supporting our staff and school.
We understand with family and work commitments that attending meetings isn’t always feasible but you can still get involved!
Our role is to strengthen our school community.
We do this by supporting the school advisory council, principal and staff; assist with social engagement within and beyond the school community; extend welcome and support offered to school families and raise funds to enhance school resources and facilities.

Our 2019 Representatives:

​Jessica Marsh – President
Natalee Louder – Vice President
Megan Harrington – Secretary
Sam Dunks – Treasurer
Kara Cunningham – SAC representative
