The Fund Raisers Association (FRA) is a registered charity that was formed to raise extra funds for the children of St John's Primary School. We are a group of parents and teachers that give a bit of our time to organise different events. Some events we organise are purely for the children to enjoy such as the Easter Egg Hunt, Christmas Panto and Lunch, Year Six Leavers' Party and the End of Year Picnic. Others are to raise the funds to pay for the fun events and extra equipment that the children benefit from.
In the past we have funded the cost of items such as the canopy over Year R, the wooden furniture and play trail in the play ground, visualizers in the class rooms, re-vamping the secret garden, the table tennis tables and storage. Without the FRA raising extra funds the school could not afford such items or special days.
It's all about the children which is why we are here doing what we do and we all work really hard to ensure that they have all these extras to enjoy. Everyone is welcome to join in any way you can.

We also have other parents who help in many ways, including setting up and clearing away events, running stalls, shopping, obtaining raffle prizes, attending meetings, printing, designing leaflets and generally sharing ideas.
