Bid for funding

Parents of students in Kindergarten to Year 3 next year at Ettalong Public School will be asked to complete a survey to assist in the school's bid to secure funding from the Priority Schools Program for 2013-2016.

The program provides significant funding for the school over the four years and affords it the opportunity to offer quality extra curricula activities at reduced rates, according to principal Mr Colin Wallis.

The funding would also help the school purchase quality resources such as interactive white boards and literacy materials that added relevance to students' learning, therefore enhancing academic achievement, he said.
