Fundraising
As a not-for-profit service HEY relies on fundraising to fund educational projects throughout the year.
Community involvement and engagement helps us grow.
Why Fundraise?
As a not for profit business, our community at HEY thrives on the involvement and contribution from parents and carers. Each new group of parents and carers benefit hugely from the legacy of the fundraising efforts of past parents. We have several ways in which we fundraise each year and funds go towards creating wonderful learning environments that your child will enjoy every single day. For example, in 2018 our goal of $10,000 is going towards building an Outdoor Class Room, this means children can be educated in a stimulating garden environment whilst being protected from the sun. We warmly welcome donations of any amount and thank you for considering a contribution to help us reach our goal
How we Fundraise
Events
We would love you and your family to be involved at our events! We hold various fundraising events throughout the year such as a fun day for the children at ‘Kew Traffic School’, ‘Bunnings Sausage Sizzle’, and our main event is our ‘Biennial Trivia night’. The Trivia night is an evening during which parents can connect and win great prizes at our silent auction. As a parent your business could donate a service or product to be auctioned on the night! (please speak to reception). At various times we rely on parents volunteering at these events and it’s a great way to get involved and meet other HEY families.
Creative Children
Other ways we fundraise include the wonderful creations and designs the children make themselves and which you get to take home! These include a yearly Art Show, from which artworks made by each class are then auctioned. A melamine plate featuring your child’s design and a biennial HEY Tea Towel featuring a drawing from each child at the service!
Our Board
Another way you can make a big difference to your experience at HEY is by joining our Board. This involves attending a two-hour monthly meeting; there are also sub committees such as a fundraising team and finance etc who meet separately.
