We have excellent fundraisers to support our Students and also purchase Digital Resource Learning Packages Fundraisers include Fashion Parades, Quiz Afternoons, extremely successful trading tables and fashion recycling. In 2025, we raised $25,578 for The Smith Family. Our first Fundraising was in January 2026 where some Members acted as Traffic Marshalls for the Tour Down Under. This was followed by a very successful Fashion Parade in May

We hold coffee mornings and social outings, like bus tours or river cruises, walks, and visits to attractions in Adelaide and environs.
