WEMBLEY DOWNS PRIMARY SCHOOL

Welcome to the Wembley Downs Primary School P & C webpage – and thanks for taking to time to find out more about us!

The Wembley Downs Primary School (WDPS) P&C is an active group of parents and carers who are committed to, and passionate about representing the whole school community. We have three main objectives as a P&C:

​

• To provide opportunities for connection and engagement for our whole community – building friendships and a true sense of community

• To work closely with the school administration, staff and teachers to support them in their school mission and vision, provide feedback from the community and continue to build our excellent a collaborative working relationship.

• To deliver events and activities to raise funds for projects and items that will enhance the learning and social journey for our kids.
   

We encourage parents, carers and our kids to participate actively in a wide range of events and activities throughout the school year and get involved in any way that works for them.

We have several ways you can find out about the P&C, to keep you informed and updated.

For 2023 we had two major funding focuses, based on the results of our community survey conducted in November 2021. They are:

• Completing the classroom upgrades!

• Additional bike infrastructure
   

Of course, we will be able to fund plenty of other activities and items throughout the year and welcome any and all suggestions as to what you would like to see funded.
 

In 2022 we contributed over $50,000 towards several key projects and activities, including:

• Contributing $10,000 to the funding of computer leases for the school

• Contributed $16,000 to completed upgrades on three more classrooms as part of our ongoing whole of school classroom upgrade program (the school contributed to this as well). We only have three more rooms to go, and these will be done early next year.

• Funding of just under $8,000 towards new and improved bike storage

• Funding of $2,000 towards the Year 6 Graduation activities

• Funding of $1,000 towards new decodable readers

• Funding of $3,000 towards the staging for the Christmas Concert

• Funding of $4,500 towards new display and storage equipment for the library

• Funding of $3,000 towards the Y6 Drama production

• Funding of $1,500 to improve the PE storage Room

 

We manage and run the Uniform Shop and Kookaburras Cafe Canteen and are always looking for more volunteers to assist with this. So, if you are interested in a career in food or fashion – please pop your head in and say hi!

 

All parents, carers and community representatives are welcome to come along to P&C meetings which are held twice a term. Meeting reminders will appear regularly in the school newsletter and on our Facebook page. Please feel free to approach any member if you have any questions, suggestions or issues which you would like to raise. You can also email us at secretary@pc.wembleydownsps.wa.edu.au
