The Entertainment Book for 2020/21 is now available. It was such a success last year and an amazing fundraiser for our school we have decided to do it again. Please support us and buy your book or digital membership by clicking the link below.

Digital membership has many advantages over the book version. The P&F recommend the digital version.

The ELPSP&F Executive have created a Land Swap Information for Members document that answers many of the Frequently Asked Questions about the proposed Land Swap.  Please take the time to read the document so you can be an informed member.

We hope to finalize an agreement with the DoE early in 2021. The Executive will then review it, seek advice on it, and continue negotiations with the DoE to get the best outcome for the P&F Association and the school.

This is a gentle reminder that dogs are not permitted on the oval or surrounds at any time (not just during school hours) either on or off-leash. The P&F have recently received a number of reports of people exercising their dogs on the oval. The reason for the ban on dogs is for health and safety issues, relating specifically to dog faeces. The school grounds-person currently has to clean up dog faeces before the school day because of people not cleaning up after their dogs. Even if you are doing the right thing by cleaning up after your dog, the signage around the oval clearly states that dogs are not permitted on the oval and surrounds and we ask that you exercise your dog at the authorised dog exercise areas. A link to a map of dog exercise areas in Launceston is available at https://www.launceston.tas.gov.au/Parks-and-Gardens.

The P&F recommend that anyone volunteering at P&F events hold a Working with Vulnerable People (RWVP) card. You can apply for the volunteer registration by going to http://www.justice.tas.gov.au/working_with_children/application. The cost is $18.36 for the volunteer only registration.
