About us

At East Launceston Primary School, the Parents & Friends Association (ELPS P&F) helps bring families together, raise funds, and support the school in practical ways. As a volunteer-run group, we meet approx. six times a year to plan and organise initiatives that contribute to school life, from purchasing useful resources to running community events.

We also manage the school uniform shop and oversee the management of the oval, ensuring these spaces are well looked after and available to everyone. Above all, we’re here to create a welcoming and supportive school community where parents, families and care-givers can get involved - whether that’s helping out, joining a meeting, or simply showing support.

Whilst major decisions are made by our Executive Committee, we wouldn’t be able to deliver the support we do without our brilliant volunteers.
