The Grounds Committee meets twice every term and consists of parents and staff members. It is a creative group that works hard to ensure Flinders Park Primary is a safe, practical and attractive place to be.

The Grounds Committee has undertaken the following guiding principles to determine developments:

• Areas that augment learning centres take priority.
• Workmanship should be of the highest quality and there will be no “corner cutting.”
• Department policies on safety and welfare are adhered to.
• Planning is effectively conducted.
• Building, Maintenance and Works (BMW) guidelines are followed.
• Equity for all students.
• All project costs will be accurately estimated and assessed before works are undertaken.
• Beautification projects should be included to enhance the school environment for health and wellbeing purposes.
• Where possible sources of funding outside the school and P and C will be used.
• The school and the P and C will financially assist in completing the plan.

Planning Process

• The plans will be available to all stakeholders.
• The plans will incorporate all areas of the school and will include both grounds and facilities.
• Plans are to be ratified by the School Board.
