Father's Day Stall

📍 JPPS Annex                                           🕐 All Day

Mirroring the success of our Mother’s Day Stall, the Father’s Day Stall gives every student the chance to choose a thoughtful gift for their dad or a special person in their life. Students browse a selection of curated gift items throughout the school day in a fun and relaxed setting. It’s a simple gesture that means the world to the families involved — and a wonderful reflection of our school community’s values.

EVENT NEWS

JPPS P&C is now a Return and Earn partner!

July 2026

Great news — our P&C has officially become a Return and Earn donation partner, which means our school community can now turn eligible drink containers into funds for John Purchase Public School, with all proceeds going towards building improvements.

It’s simple: next time you’re at a Return and Earn machine or collection point, select the donate option and scan our code below.

You can also set JPPS P&C as your default charity in the Return and Earn app or at participating machines, so every container you return donates automatically — no need to scan the code each time!

Every container counts, so get the whole family involved, and feel free to spread the word to friends, neighbours, and local businesses too.
