The Friends of Stanley Bay team (FOSB) is a group of volunteer parents who have children across all year groups at Stanley Bay School. We have three goals:
  • Build school and community spirit!
  • Raise funds to support our amazing school!
  • Promote our school and increase our profile to the wider community!​
We function as a sub-committee of the Board of Trustees with parents meeting regularly, supported by a wider group of parents who support us as and when they can. ​

Our fundraising goals

The funds raised by the events we throw are so important for our students, their education and wellbeing, with Stanley Bay School relying on these for improvements as agreed by the board. 
We want to smash our 2024 target of $40k so we can snag an electric piano, a new sandpit cover, a pool cleaner, basketball and netball hoops, a ride-on mower, learning resources, and nine secure cupboards for our teachers. 
The list is endless, and we need your help to achieve this!
Present fundraisers
The Great Devonport History Mystery
Available from the school office or Paradox Books for $20. Designed, written, and developed by two of our talented parents. This is a perfect stocking filler for Devonport fans and a great holiday activity for the kids!

Yummy Fruit sticker promotion
Collect stickers and bags so we can win a share of sports gear for our school! Sticker sheets are available at the school office. Visit the Yummy Fruit website for more details. 

Our Sponsors, please support them.

Thank you to our sponsors for supporting our wonderful school.

Our events

We've come up with a range of events that align with our goals. Some are events for just our students and their families, some are to build community spirit, and some are major fundraisers - aka our infamous Mud Run!
