Spring Fair

Each year the school community holds an Spring Fair as part of the St Augustine’s Fundraising program.

The St Augustine’s Spring Fair is an annual event. Our children and families have a fantastic time. It gathers our School community together and it is a great introduction to our wonderful school culture for all new families.

There are amusement rides such as; the Cha-Cha, Giant Slide, Jumping castles, Cup and Saucer and train rides.

The stalls at the fair include:

Art Show

The St Augustine’s Art Show is another annual fundraising event led by the schools parent community.

The art show is an opportunity for local artists to showcase their talents. Each year the show involves over 60 artists and offers more than 200 paintings for sale.

The show opens on a Friday night with an opening night gala. The Hors d’oeures offered to those attending the opening night are provided by our very generous school parent community. The exhibition runs for the rest of duration of the weekend.

Application forms can be downloaded, completed and returned to the school.

Men in Schools Group

Our Dad’s play an important part in our children’s education.

The main message is the importance of Dads being involved in their child’s school and education, whether it is taking children to school, helping out in the class, reading each night or helping out with homework. The message that children receive is that school is very important to Dad’s.

The Men in Schools group was formed in 1998 with the aim of welcoming and encouraging fathers and guardians to be part of their child’s education and school.

Our Men in Schools group has achieved a lot over the years. Some of the activities have included;

• Annual Bush Camp
• School Disco
• Social activities such as Bowling, Games Nights, Movie Nights
• Information evenings and discussion groups (Manhood and Raising Boys)
• Helping out at school functions and in the classroom

If you would like to be involved in this initiative please contact the school.

Family Buddy Program

New families to St Augustine’s are paired up with an existing family group.

In 2010, St Augustine’s introduced the family buddy program. This is where new families to St Augustine’s are paired up with an existing family. The program is designed to help new families with their introduction to life at St Augustine’s. It provides new families with a contact person that they can ask those everyday important questions as well as providing a familiar face at social functions. The program commences with a meet and greet BBQ during Term 4.

Any family interested in being part of the program, please contact the office.
