Fundraising & Working Bee
At Chelsea Heights Kindergarten, fundraising is essential to maintaining and improving our play space and educational resources. While we receive some government funding, it doesn't cover all of our costs, such as excursions, professional in-house experiences, new equipment, or replenishing educational resources. This is where fundraising plays a key role, ensuring that our children have access to the best possible learning experiences.
Fundraising allows us to:
-
Enhance and maintain our play spaces.
-
Fund excursions, professional in-house experiences and special events.
-
Purchase new equipment and educational resources.
-
Support the financial sustainability of the kindergarten.
The success of our fundraising efforts is made possible by the generosity and hard work of our wonderful parents and carers. Here are some ways our community helps raise funds:
-
Welcome Pizza Party
-
Adult only Trivia or Bingo Night
-
Children’s Disco
-
Bunnings BBQ
-
Fundraising drives such as picture plates and Cadbury chocolates
These efforts not only generate much-needed funds but also bring our community together. Fundraising is a great way to engage with other families and help create lasting memories while contributing to a vital cause.
We encourage all families to participate in our fundraising initiatives. Whether it's volunteering at events, donating items, or simply participating, every contribution makes a difference. Together, we can continue to provide a rich, engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive.

Working Bee's
As you can see our external play space at the kindergarten looks spectacular. This is due to the work that parents, children, teachers and the City of Kingston put into our outside area to keep it looking good all year round. We hold the workings bee’s on Sunday’s the first week back of each term. We hold 5 working bees throughout the year. Our first working bee for the year we invite ALL families. This is a fantastic opportunity to meet other families, see your teachers again, and it helps your children get excited with starting that week. The following 4 working bees will be divided into 1 kinder group per term. This allows for a more intimate working bee, and gives you that chance to just work with the other
children and families in your child’s kinder group. The children absolutely love helping at working bees, and or just playing with their friends. These working bee’s are organised by the Maintenance Officer (parent Committee of Management) and will be communicated via class dojo and your private groups Facebook page. We also have a working bee sign up sheet which we put out couple weeks before a working bee. We ask that you please write your name down so we can ensure we have enough helpers. Typical duties involve re-mulching, weeding and basic maintenance of playground equipment. The more volunteers the quicker the working bees get done.
