FLODGE P&C
The Forest Lodge Public School P&C are proud to be of service to our village-like school community. Through fundraising, sponsorships and events, they support the school with funds to enhance children’s education and upgrade school infrastructure (additional to what the Department of Education already provides).
P&C meetings are held every 3rd and 8th week of every Term and matters raised cover all aspects of schooling from curriculum delivery, school policies, programs and planning, to fundraising efforts and other practical help.
P&C fundraising initiatives raise funds are used to support annual targets set jointly by staff and parents and include purchasing of teaching and learning resources, subsidising special programs for students and staff training, and development initiatives.
All parents and carers are welcome to join the Flodge P&C Committee. Your level of involvement is up to you - it can be as little or as much as you want. You could contribute via cash donations, volunteering or by becoming a P&C Executive Team member.
Membership is $2.00 per year. Annual membership entitles you to be involved in the decision-making processes of the Forest Lodge P&C Association

Come along for a chance to win the lucky door prize!
Be a hair-raising helper for Halloween!
The P&C is committed to bringing our FLPS community fun, family driven events. With only five months to go until the end of year, we have 2 events left: the major fright factory, Halloween 2024 (26 October) and a Springtime Parents only night (keep an eye out for the date) event.
It takes many hands to deliver events, and we need as much parent support to bring these wonderful community events to life. No experience needed!
Past volunteers have said this is a rewarding and great way to meet FLPS community or to have fun teaming up with other parents.
Join the Entertainment Crew!
We've had a great response so far with most of our organising committee roles being filled, but our Entertainment Crew needs a few hands.
The role:
- 3-4 people to decide, book and liaise with spooky entertainment.
We'll also need nightwalkers to help us keep our school neat and tidy after the event.
To volunteer, please complete this survey or email us at mail@flodge.net.au. We value any help for this key event, so let us know ASAP as we'd like to kick off the Organising Committee in the coming weeks.
Without parent and community help, Halloween 2024 is hard to continue, and October is not far away! It would be a killer not to do it...
Shout out for Specialised Skills
We need your skills for 2 important tasks.
- A lawyer to help the P&C with the FLASCA transition. We estimate this to take 4-6 hours over a few weeks.
- 1 or 2 handy parents to build shelving in the P&C storeroom, The shelf structure is in parts, so you'll need to check that all parts are there first. Between 2 people, we estimate this to be 2 hours' worth of work.
Please reach out to Jaana Quaintance-James, Ginger Ververis or Laura Rosales via WhatsApp
The P&C Approach 2024
'In a fun and inclusive manner, inspire greater participation and engagement amongst the Forest Lodge Parent Community while being positive role models of civic engagement for our children and raising money which delivers value for their education.'
Full Funding Matters
Please sign the online Petition - We support 100% funding!
Currently 98% of public schools in NSW do not receive their full funding requirements under the minimums set by the School Resourcing Standard (SRS)
Some of the things full funding means for your child and school:
- New and upgraded facilities and technology
- More teachers and smaller class sizes
- Intensive support and assistance for children with additional needs
- Programs for students falling behind to help them to succeed
- Improved student wellbeing with more resources
- One on one support for students
