Welcome to the Jolimont Primary School Parents and Citizens’ Association (P&C) page!
Our P&C is a vibrant community of parents, carers, and citizens dedicated to enhancing the educational experience of our students. A quick reminder of what the P&C is all about—we’re here to fundraise and support school initiatives, not manage school logistics or operations.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we’ve been able to contribute to meaningful projects that benefit our kids.
Overview
This year, our primary fundraising focus is the Joli Green Project.
This ambitious initiative aims to transform the school’s internal courtyard into a vibrant, multi-use space with greenery, pathways, and seating—creating an environment that benefits both students and the wider school community. Designed with sustainability in mind, this project will help cool our classrooms in the quadrant, providing a calm and shaded retreat for students and staff. It has been a vision in the making for over 10 years, and we are excited to finally bring it to life. The space will be a multi-sensory environment, enhancing learning, play, and wellbeing for all.
In addition to our fundraising events listed below, we are hosting two major election fundraisers coinciding with the upcoming state and federal elections. These events will provide valuable opportunities for community engagement while raising funds to support school projects.

Class Reps
A Class Rep is a parent or carer who volunteers as a coordinator for their child’s class. This role is primarily social, helping to foster connections within the school community.
Class Reps often organise after-school playdates, parent dinners, and family gatherings. They may also assist teachers with class activities, welcome new families, and coordinate volunteers for school and P&C events.
Jolimont Primary School Dads
Jolimont Primary School Dads Group was established in 2020 with the goal of creating a supportive and engaging community for fathers and father figures. The group organises regular activities that provide a safe and inclusive environment where fathers can actively engage with their children, share experiences, learn from one another, and build connections.
Our Mission
Our mission is to enhance the bond between fathers / father-figures and their children while fostering a sense of community among dads. We believe that by coming together, fathers can support each other in their parenting journey, contribute positively to their children’s development, and create lasting memories.
Activities and Events
We host one event per term, ensuring that there are consistent opportunities for fathers and their children to participate throughout the school year. Our activities are designed to be fun, educational, and inclusive, catering to a wide range of interests and age groups.
Community events
- Outdoor adventures such as camping
- Workshops and regular communications on evidence-based parenting skills and child development
- Social gatherings like barbecues and picnics
- Family get togethers
- Committee and Leadership
Our Committee
The Jolimont PS Dads Group is managed by a committee of five dads, responsible for planning and organising events. The committee operates within the P&C structure and maintains a close and collaborative working relationship with them.
Alignment with The Fathering Project
Jolimont PS Dads Group is proud to be aligned with The Fathering Project, an organisation dedicated to inspiring and equipping fathers and father figures to be more effective and engaged in their children’s lives. By following the principles and resources provided by The Fathering Project, we ensure that our efforts are grounded in research and best practises.
P&C Events Calendar for 2025
Each year the P&C organises several school events. While some events support our goal of raising funds, others have the sole purpose of bringing together our magnificent school community.
To ensure everyone gets involved, each year group is assigned an event to coordinate. These events are organised in collaboration with the P&C and Class Reps, making it a true team effort.
Below is a table outlining our planned events for the year. Please note that dates are subject to change, and additional events may be added throughout the year.
Please note: Year 6 classes will be involved in organising their own events for their graduation year.
REMEMBER all money raised by the P&C benefits the school through new resources & improved facilities.
