Some ways we have been able to do this have been:

  • Funding of climbing equipment for the school
  • Funding of audio equipment for the school
  • Funding assistance for the GBHS Adventure Racing Team

​Become Involved with Home and School
The Home and School committee is always looking for new, like-minded members wishing to make a contribution to our school community.  There are two ways you can do this: join the committee (attend meetings and be involved in decision making) or as a ‘friend of Home and School,’ (no obligation to attend meetings, but helping out when required). 
If this is something you think may be of interest to you, we encourage you to come to a committee meeting.  Alternatively, should you wish to discuss what is involved in becoming a committee member or ‘friend of Home and School,’ please feel free to contact any of the committee members below, or email: [email protected]
