Voluntary Contributions
Preschools in the ACT are provided by the ACT Government. As of 2008 Gilmore Preschool is an integral part of Gilmore Primary School. The Preschool is supported by the Preschool Parent Association (PPA). Parents with enrolled children automatically become members of the PPA. The PPA sets the voluntary contributions at the first PPA general meeting.

How Can I Help?
We greatly value your involvement. There are many ways that you can support your child’s Preschool education:

Offering to help in the class on a roster basis with small group activities, craft, reading to the children.
Excursions.
Sharing special skills and interests, playing an instrument, pottery, carpentry.
Parent Committee. Keep up to date with what is happening at preschool and be a part of the decision making on how your contributions and fundraising are spent.
