2024 Term Dates
Parents & Friends Community
Welcome to the Brighton Primary School community! Known as the Parents & Friends Community (PFC), we are the team responsible for organising engaging events throughout the year. These not only foster a sense of community but also play a crucial role in generating funds vital for enhancing our school's facilities. Thanks to the collaborative efforts of our community, we are able to contribute to many key projects and initiatives to make our school better.
Annually, the PFC organises a variety of events, including fun lunch sausage sizzles, mothers’ & fathers’ day events, a student lapathon fundraiser and a dad’s footy match.
Beyond these events, the PFC serves as a source of friendship and support for families who are new to the school.
If you’d like to know more about the PFC, please feel free to email us:
