At Pender’s Grove Primary School, we believe that every child deserves access to the tools and technology that support great learning. Our community has always been at the heart of everything we do—and with your help, we can continue to provide enriching experiences and resources that benefit every student. Whether you’re a parent, carer, neighbour or local business, your support makes a real difference.
Current Fundraising Goal:
$7000 to upgrade our outdoor basketball courts
$5,600 raised
Goal: $7,000
Our current target is to raise $7000 to upgrade our outdoor basketball courts. We are very lucky to have so much space at our school, and a huge range of facilities for play, and this upgrade will make them more accessible and easier to use.
Every contribution counts. Whether it’s a one-time donation or getting involved with our upcoming events, your support brings us one step closer to our goal. Thank you to our amazing community for all of their hard work and passion – it’s a pleasure to work together to make our school better for all!

Grants and Funding Success
Our School Council has a dedicated Grants Team and Fundraising and Events Team.
Our Grants Team has been working hard to secure additional funding to support the school’s programs and facilities. Thanks to their efforts, we’ve successfully secured several grants that are helping to fund vital upgrades, new resources, and exciting learning opportunities for our students.
Likewise our Fundraising and Events Team have helped raise funds for a new interactive whiteboard in our classroom, and have put on fundraisers and community events such as a our Winter Solstice.
Thank you to the teams and the wider school community including staff who help.
