The Hereworth Parents’ Association is great way for parents like yourself to get involved in the fun, behind-the-scenes aspects of the School’s social calendar.

From our entertaining Quiz Night to our Mother’s Day High Tea, HPA members help to plan and execute events that both fundraise for the School and increase awareness of Hereworth in the community.

And once the fundraising is done, the HPA also helps to decide where those funds are allocated

HPA Events for 2023

It’s been a wonderful year so far, and here are some of the events that the HPA have helped organise or are in the process of executing.

Mother’s Day High Tea – this celebration of Hereworth Mums, Grandmothers, Aunts and Carers was held on our Chapel lawn in May and raised over $1600 raised for the charity Jammies4June.

Quiz Night on Friday 25 August - Our annual quiz night will once again offer an evening of unparalleled laughs, brain-bending questions and prizes galore. Previous quiz nights have raised over $23,000 for the school, and this year’s event should be bigger, better and even more rewarding.

Father’s Day at Hereworth in early September - We’ll once again thank the amazing Dads of Hereworth with an event held on School grounds. The HPA will begin planning for this event shortly, looking to build on the success of last year.

Recent purchases made by the HPA

The HPA has helped Hereworth purchase some incredible items over the years, helping to fire the imaginations of our boys and girls throughout the School.

Just some of the recent purchases include -

Two Concrete Table tennis. These are in constant use during morning tea and lunch.

Junior Shade System. An essential addition to our Junior School playground.

Laser Cutter. Our boys and girls are constantly finding creative ways to use this machine.

Epro 8 Kits.  A mix of engineering, tech, and science, these kits are a huge hit with our students.
