Home - Aspley State School Foundation

Welcome to the Aspley State School Foundation!

We are committed to helping to make a better school environment for all the students
of Aspley State School. Your generous support will contribute to enhancing our students' educational experience today and in the future.

Our Purpose

The Aspley State School Foundation is an initiative of some members of the Aspley State School P&C. It was established in June 2018 to create a reliable income stream to be used for the maintenance, improvement and construction of buildings at Aspley State School.

We intend to regularly approach Aspley State School parents and members of the wider community for tax deductible contributions to specific building projects (as recommended by the Principal and School Council). In this way, we hope to assist the school in providing the very best of learning environments for the students of Aspley State School.

Current Projects for 2021

PROJECT | CONTINUATION OF 2020 PROJECTS: WATER STATIONS AND CLASSROOM REFURBISHMENTS

TARGET AMOUNT $10,000 | RAISED SO FAR $5,885

We set an ambitious goal to raise $10,000 last year and while we were unable to complete all the projects we set out to do, we are hoping that our community will dig a little deeper this year and help the Foundation meet these commitments in 2021.

PROJECT | PREP TOILETS (BOYS & GIRLS) REFURBISHMENT

TARGET AMOUNT $ 5,000 | RAISED SO FAR $2,195

The Prep Toilets need the floors replaced, new toilet seats,
doors and locks replaced, and a fresh coat of paint, so that this space is a more hygienic and pleasant space for our newest students.

PROJECT | POOL CHANGE ROOM FLOORS REPAIRED

TARGET AMOUNT $5,000 | RAISED SO FAR $725

The flooring in the change rooms have some damage that may become a hygiene concern if not repaired in the near future. This is the perfect time of year for the
Foundation to assist the school in ensuring no further damage to this shared space occurs and the change rooms will be functional for the upcoming swimming season.

Projects Completed

2018 PROJECT | CARPETS FOR PREP CLASSROOMS

Thanks to the generosity of many parents, we have been able to have carpet tiles installed in the main activity areas of all 5 Prep classrooms. Originally carpet was going to be laid but the response was so good that we decided to buy the more versatile carpet tiles. Our P&C very kindly agreed to cover the cost of installation for one classroom, and the result is - as you see! The tiles are Godfrey Hirst Landscape extra heavy duty tiles in grey with a splash of coloured tiles for interest. The total cost to the Foundation was $7,286.40. The teachers and students are very pleased with the result - thank you to all who contributed!

2018 PROJECT | BLINDS FOR YEAR 6 CLASSROOMS

From some of the money received from our appeal in June 2018, we have been able to have a total of 11 block out roller blinds installed in two Year 6 classrooms - 6H & 6M. The blinds will replace the existing makeshift curtains and ensure that the harsh summer sun that comes through those windows - on the Maundrell Terrace side of the classrooms - is able to be variously blocked out or managed as required by the teachers. Thank you to everybody who supported this project!

2019 PROJECT | SHADE SAILS OVER THE OVAL GRANDSTAND

Because of the generosity of our donors, we were able to install a shade sail over the oval grandstand. Our community gifted nearly $10,000 to this important project - a fantastic result! Now we have an area which the students can regularly use while being protected from the harsh rays of the sun. Thank you to everyone who contributed!

2020 PROJECT | UPGRADED TOILET FACILITIES

With the help of generous donors, the time of volunteers, and donations from local businesses, the student toilet blocks had a makeover across two weekends in November 2020. The 4 student toilet blocks underwent a thorough commercial clean, with doors, locks, and toilet roll dispensers replaced or repaired, the addition of extra soap dispensers, and a re-paint that gave the whole space a refresh. Thank you to everyone who made this happen!
