'US’ - A Vauxhall Primary Art Project

Fundraising at Vauxhall School

Fundraising plays a vital role in helping our school provide quality facilities and resources that enrich our children’s learning every day. Thanks to the generosity and effort of past families, our students now enjoy upgraded playgrounds, new sports gear, additional teaching support and resources.

By getting involved in fundraising, you’re not only supporting your child’s education—you’re also strengthening our school community. Many parents find it a fun and rewarding way to meet new people, contribute to something meaningful, and help shape the future of our school.

Whether you have time, ideas, or just heaps of enthusiasm—we’d love to have you involved!

Other ways to help...

There are additional ways you can help that will make a measurable difference to our school:

Fundraising donation on Kindo: For those who would prefer to simply donate some extra cash, you can do this on Kindo under Shops / Fundraising Donation. 

YUMMY Fruit Stickers: If you eat YUMMY apples and fruit, grab a sticker sheet from Shannon at the office and put the stickers on it. Once the sheet is full, give it back to Shannon. All the stickers get counted in September and they give us money to spend on sports equipment. Over the last few years this has resulted in an additional $620 spent on sports gear. 

New World Devonport Receipts: For those of you who shop at New World Devonport, write the school name on your reciept and drop it in the box opposite the Lotto counter and John Ashton donates a percentage of money spent.
