Father's Day Stall

📍 JPPS Annex                                           🕐 All Day

Gifts from the heart, big smiles guaranteed! Hundreds of awesome gifts await, and every kid gets to pick the perfect present for that special man in their life — from fridge magnets and dad badges to Bluetooth speakers, spirit levels, and “Best Dad Ever” travel mugs. Prices from $2 to $10, something for every budget!

We’re going cashless this year! 💳 Order vouchers via FlexiSchools ahead of time (we recommend $10 or more) — orders close Monday 31 August. Vouchers will be handed out by class teachers, ready to spend at the stall on the day!

🙋 Volunteers needed sign up here to help spread the Father’s Day cheer!

Father's Day Breakfast

📍 JPPS Canteen                         🕐 7.30am – 8.45am

Super Dads, assemble! Grab your dad, granddad, uncle, or whichever superhero raised you and swoop in for bacon and egg rolls hot off the grill (drink included, cape optional). Rock out to a live set from the School Band and strike your best hero pose at the Selfie Station!

For the kids: climb aboard a real-life RFS fire truck and get hands-on at the Bunnings Woodworking table — because every superhero needs a sidekick project to take home.

💰 Breakfast: $10 pre-paid / $12 at the door
🔨 Kid add-ons: $5 pre-paid / $7 at the door — save $2 by pre-paying!

Don’t miss out — pre-purchase on FlexiSchools by Wednesday 2 September and lock in your spot (and your bacon roll)!

🙋 Volunteers needed — sign up here to help save the day!

The bitesize FUN'raiser!

More Details Coming Soon!

🍪 Bite Size FUNraiser — sshh, it’s a secret (for now)! Something sweet is coming to close out the term. Stay tuned! 👀

EVENT NEWS

JPPS P&C is now a Return and Earn partner!

July 2026

Great news — our P&C has officially become a Return and Earn donation partner, which means our school community can now turn eligible drink containers into funds for John Purchase Public School, with all proceeds going towards building improvements.

It’s simple: next time you’re at a Return and Earn machine or collection point, select the donate option and scan our code below.

You can also set JPPS P&C as your default charity in the Return and Earn app or at participating machines, so every container you return donates automatically — no need to scan the code each time!

Every container counts, so get the whole family involved, and feel free to spread the word to friends, neighbours, and local businesses too.


P&C School Disco

June 2026

What an incredible moment for our school community!

A massive thank you to Bendigo Community Bank Galston & District for their generous $3,500 donation towards our JPPS School Disco
 
This amazing contribution will go directly towards upgrading our outdoor learning environment, giving our kids an even better space to learn and play.
 
We are so grateful to have a sponsor like Bendigo Bank who genuinely invests in our school community. Thank you for believing in our kids!
