Our School
After School Activities and
Community Involvement
Our school thrives because of our community, and for that we are incredibly grateful.
Wondering how to get involved? Take a look at some of our community initiatives,
for students and parents/carers alike.
Parents & Friends
A school is only as strong as its community, and at the heart of Hughesdale Primary’s community is our Parents & Friends Committee.
Fully run by volunteers, P&F run fundraising events and social events throughout the calendar year for the entire school community.

School Council
School Council plays a key role in the operation of Hughesdale Primary School. Participating as a School Council member is a rewarding and challenging experience. Council supports the principal to provide the best possible educational outcomes for students.
Buddy Program
Creating connections within our community, and fostering a strong sense of belonging for all students is a core element of our wellbeing program at Hughesdale Primary School.
One way we foster this is by robustly using our Buddy Program for all students in Foundation/Prep and Year 6. This partnership is formed during transition sessions before students even commence the school year, and it facilitates important relationships with peers and student mentors from the very first day of school.
Extracurricular Activities
We are pleased to share with our community the range of extra-curricular programs we make available utilising external providers. We aim for our students to have access to and appreciate the positive effects of participating in extra-curricular activities and so remain dedicated to the provision of learning experiences that are of an exceptionally high quality.
