Bruny Island District School Parents & Friends

Hello community 🌞
We've had an oddly low number of entries for the school calendar this year, and really need your input for it to go ahead. Previous years we've been inundated!
If you've got a nice shot of anything Bruny, preferably landscape format, send it through! The environment, birds, animals, people - it's all welcome.
It's an easy way to share your photos for all to enjoy, plus a great fundraiser for our little school.
Send images to [email protected] wed really appreciate it 😊

We have some exciting news!

The final fundraising total from our Indonesian Dinner has now been confirmed, and we are thrilled to announce that, together as a community, we raised an incredible $20,859.06.

After expenses, the event delivered a fantastic profit of $17,892.79.

We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved together. The support, generosity and community spirit shown throughout this event has helped us take a significant step towards creating a new bike track and outdoor kitchen garden classroom for our students and wider school community.

We are also excited to share that the bike track is booked in to commence construction in September, and we are hoping the outdoor classroom will be completed by November. Fingers crossed, all going to plan.

Thank you for believing in our vision and for supporting the Bruny Island District School community. Together, we have made something truly special happen

Kind Regards Jo

Don’t forget to submit your Bruny photos for our popular calendar, which sells out every year.

It’s a wonderful time to capture the island’s beauty, or you may already have a favourite snap ready to share.

All submission details are on the image. We can’t wait to see your photos! 📸

A very big thank you to Kris and Ray from Bruny Island Wild who generously gave up their time to cook hot lunch for the kids and teachers yesterday.

The minestrone soup and cheesy scones were an absolute hit!

I just love our school and community so much.

What an incredible night!

After weeks and weeks of planning, the P&F pulled off a magnificent event. Volunteers worked tirelessly to cook for 149 guests who all came together to help raise funds for a school and community bike track, along with an outdoor kitchen garden classroom. It was a huge success, and we look forward to sharing the final fundraising total very soon.

We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all of our volunteers. Your hard work, dedication and teamwork made the evening possible. You are absolute powerhouses and our school community is incredibly lucky to have you.
