Back to School P&C Fundraiser

Voters all over Australia will head to their local schools to cast their votes, and maybe buy a sausage sandwich to help top up the coffers of the school P&C. They may even cast a nostalgic eye, reflect on their school days and wonder, with all the election debate around education, what it would be like to go ‘back to school’. Well, if that notion grabs you, Kincumber High School P&C will make that possible on Saturday, 30th July.

In partnership with Kincumber Neighbourhood Centre, the school P&C’s main fundraising activity for the year will give community members the opportunity to go to ‘back to school’ at Kincumber High School to launch Education Week 2016.

Take a look at the lessons, and the teachers. This time around, make sure you are there before the first bell.
