The Sorrento Primary School P&C Association is a dynamic (and fun!) network of parents, carers, teachers, community members and others who are passionate about working with the school to provide additional resources for all of our kids. We are committed to the priorities and values of public education but we understand that school budgets are limited!

We raise around $30 000 per year through our:

• Canteen. The Surf Shack is open Tuesdays and Thursdays (order on-line!) and also organises regular themed cake stalls and end-of-term sausage sizzles.
• Fundraising activities & events. 
• Book Club. There are 2 issues per term and a great Book Fair at the end of the year.
• School Building Fund is a special P&C fund set up to assist with ongoing school maintenance.

The P&C also:

• Applies for local grants to fund great school projects.
• Organises Busy Bees (e.g. School Toilet Project)
• Celebrates important UN events, such as World Teachers’ Day and Harmony Day.
