Sub-committees

At Fairfield Primary School, we have four sub-committees, which are advisory groups that assist the school council with their decisions. Each committee includes a school councillor along with interested parents and staff.

  • Social Committee: Builds community connections, organises fundraising, and oversees school events like Art For All.

  • Buildings + Grounds Committee: Maintains and improves school facilities and grounds. The Environmental Sustainability Working Group (ESWG) operates within this committee.

  • Finance Committee: Oversees the school’s budget and financial investments.

  • Policy Committee: Develops and manages school policies.
