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.
