Fundraising and Events
For many years the State Government
subsidy to Preschool's has remained minimal. In 1994,
due to drastic cuts in preschool funding, Preschools
were forced to raise their fees. The current level of
State Government funding barely covers the wages paid
to the staff. As a result, all other costs (cleaning,
supplies, and maintenance to name a few) must be covered
by fees charged to parents or by fundraising.
Since 1994 the Committee(s) of Management
at Hurstbridge have kept fees at the lowest possible
level. This was done so that as many children as possible
in our community could have access to the high quality
program offered at Hurstbridge Preschool.
The consequence of keeping the fees
low means that fundraising must cover the shortfall
in our budget. We would ask you to bear all this in
mind when various fundraising events are organised.
Of course the fundraising events are also great social
events and a good way to meet other people of the Preschool
community.
Be sure to check out our monthly
supporters and support the businesses that support
Hurstbridge Pre-School.
For various fundraising &
social events throughout the year we will require payment
directly into our pre-school bank account. For
all bank deposits into our account you may use the following
Bank Deposit Slip. (Click
