About the North Loburn Home and School group
The Home & School Association makes a very positive contribution to our school in many ways. It is a team of parents and staff who are involved in the planning and organising of school fundraising and activities for the students.
It facilitates partnerships and draws parents into playing an active role in the well-being and development of the school. It provides a forum for parents and community members to meet each other and work together with a common goal. It provides our students with special extras, such as hot lunches in the winter terms, which make our school a great place to be.
The Home & School Association also raises funds through various events that are held through out the year. The funds raised allow the school to supplement our operations grant to provide resources and experiences we would be otherwise unable to access.
North Loburn School is grateful for the support that it receives from the Home and School group. Many of the wonderful resources that can be found around the school have come from money raised by this group.
We would like to extend a warm welcome to all caregivers to come and join the committee. Meetings are always held in the staffroom. The dates are published in the newsletter

These objectives will be achieved by:
•engaging in various fund-raising activities deemed appropriate by the Association; and
•providing events and activities for the benefit of the community where the emphasis is on fun rather than raising funds,
