WHERE DOES YOUR MONEY GO?

Carisbrooke parents and the surrounding community are exceptionally generous with their donations to the school
​allowing us to undertake annual projects as well as support ongoing items/activities. ​
CURRENT PROJECTS

ANNUAL PROJECTS

Our annual projects are identified through discussions with parents, students and the School, and are above and beyond the costs associated with our annual activities.  Past projects have included playground updates, implementing iPad technology for use in the classrooms, and introducing Emergency Preparedness equipment and an associated container for use in the event of a large-scale emergency.

Utilizing parent networks have been crucial to the success of these projects.  We strive to be as cost efficient as possible relying on the generous donation not only of money, but time as well.
