Woy Woy South Public School P&C Association’s plans to acquire STEM resources for the school have taken a big step forward following their success in the latest round of the #GreaterCentralCoast Community Funding Program.
The winners c the program, with runners-up for the month, Central Coast Youth Orchestra and Mangrove Mountain Pony Club, each receiving $500.
Woy Woy South Public School P&C Association Secretary, Shannon Conroy, said the organisation aims to provide improved opportunities and outcomes for all students at the school.
“We work in collaboration with the principal, teaching staff, parents and community members to provide students with the equipment and services they require to enhance their learning experience,” Shannon said.
“The P&C is involved in many forms of fundraising, as well as operating the school canteen, which provides healthy and affordable meal options and an onsite uniform shop run by volunteers.
“By following the schools core values of Respect, Responsibility and Relationships, the P&C aim to work with our community to enrich our students, families, and staff wellbeing.
“Some of our teachers are working on a proposal for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) resources such as robotics kits, to foster students’ skills and prepare them to participate in a rapidly changing world and contribute to Australia’s future development and prosperity.
“This grant from Greater Bank should help fast-track those plans, so we are very grateful for this contribution.”
Greater Bank’s Central Coast Regional Sales Manager, Josh Swetnam, said P&C Associations make a massive contribution to the region’s schools.
“We know that there are limits on government funding for public schools, so any extra money the P&C can put into the school can make a big difference in terms of resources and opportunities for the children,” Josh said.
“We are delighted to be able to help the students at Woy Woy South Public School through the #GreaterCentralCoast Community Funding Program.”
