👕 Second Hand Uniform Shop THIS Friday.
Grab a bargain and support our school.

🗓 Friday 21st August
⏰ 2:45–3:10pm
📍 Outside the canteen
💰 Prices start at $1 for hats, up to $8 for dresses and winter tunics.
💳 Cash and card accepted, but cash is greatly appreciated as it helps us save on merchant fees, meaning more money goes back to Balgownie Public School.

💻 All proceeds go straight back into funding essential school resources - thank you for your support!
👕 Got uniforms to donate? Drop clean, good-quality official school items to the front office anytime or bring them along on Friday. We really appreciate it! 🤍🖤

♻️ Got a stash of 10c containers piling up?

Before they make their way into the recycling bin, consider donating them to Balgownie Public School P&C through Return and Earn instead.

Those cans and bottles might only be worth 10c each, but together they add up to extra funds for our school - helping support resources, equipment and opportunities for our kids. 🤍🖤

So save them up, Return and Earn, and nominate Balgownie Public School P&C for your refund.

💰Small change. Big help. Every container counts!

Lend a hand for Father’s Day!
🗓Wednesday 2nd of September

The annual Balgownie Public School Father’s Day Stall is just around the corner.

✨️To make the event a success, we need a team of volunteers to assist with event setup and pack down, and supporting students while they shop. Even a short shift makes a world of difference to the smooth running of the day.

Help when you can:
8:30am-12pm - support the whole event
8:30-9am - set-up tables and organise gifts
9-11:30am - gift purchase support
11am-12pm - close and pack down
No skills necessary - just a helpful spirit!

📝Sign up your availability via My School Connect - once you volunteer you will be added to our Fathers Day Volunteers WhatsApp group for further information.

💗Thank you for your amazing support!
