Community
& News

One of our biggest assets is our community’s rich diversity. This unique mix of cultures and ethnicities serves to keep us grounded, connected, and in touch with the demands of a modern world.

Our network is abundant in perspectives, expertise and experience. Fostering strong, ongoing relationships enables us to achieve organisational, financial, environmental and physical sustainability, strongly supported by best-practice governance.

A broad range of internal and public Danebank events throughout the year offer opportunities to connect, build community and support our girls and the school.

Community

Parents and Friends Association

The Parents and Friends Association (P&F) is an integral and valued part of the school community, comprising a very active group of parents who aim to:

  • Build a sense of Danebank community among the parents through events and opportunities to meet.
  • Run fundraising activities to benefit all the students, such as purchasing musical, sporting or technology equipment.

P&F meetings are held monthly during the term, with all parents welcome to attend in person or via Zoom. Being involved helps our girls and the school, and also provides parents and carers with friendships that develop as their daughters move through school. 

Events and activities organised by the P&F Committee

Autumn Fair and Open Day

Saturday 11 May 2024

The Autumn Fair is the biggest P&F fundraiser of the year. It’s an ambitious undertaking, held in conjunction with the school’s Open Day in May each year. All families are encouraged to support this wonderful community event.

Welcome to New Parents Cocktail Evening

Held in the first or second school week of the year, parents new to the school are invited to come and share a festive evening with the P&F committee, some members of staff and each other.

The Birthday Book Program

Parents of students in Pre-Kindergarten to Year 7 are invited to purchase a book for the school library in their daughter’s name, in celebration of her birthday. A book plate is added in front of the donated book, acknowledging the gift.

Other Fundraising Opportunities

Alumnae

Danebank alumnae have a special place in the heart and minds of our community. 

Many are welcomed back on campus each year: some return to have a look around and see how the school has changed; others return to coach sporting and debating teams, or to tutor current students. Yet others return to speak at special events, serving as true role models to current students and motivating them to strive for their best.

We encourage all our alumnae to stay in touch via our Alumnae Hub and OGA Facebook page, as the school and Old Girls Association plan celebrations, networking events, and other opportunities for alumnae to meet or serve our students.

We also love to acknowledge the wonderful achievements of our old girls. Many have achieved wonderful personal success, which looks different to every individual. Please use the Hub or email to tell us more about you, your life and your achievements. 

Danebank also welcomes the donation of interesting memorabilia to our archival collection. Contact us via the Hub or email.


Alumnae are encouraged to enrol their daughters

  • The enrolment application fee is waived for daughters of alumnae.
  • The Old Girls Association (OGA, see below) pays the Year 7 eText allowances for daughters of alumnae.
  • An Old Girls Academic Scholarship is awarded annually to the daughter of an alumna entering Year 7. This is usually a percentage of the tuition fees and continues throughout Years 7 to 12.
  • The Old Girls Association annually awards a Citizenship Award to the daughter of an alumna attending Danebank. The award is 25% of the school fees for one year.


Alumnae Hub
The Hub is a forum for Danebank’s alumnae to reconnect with the school community and each other. By registering, alumnae can search for school friends and peers, use the opportunity to network, become a mentor to current students and find out about upcoming events and school news.

Old Girls Association (OGA)

The OGA aims to foster old girls’ interests and maintain links with former students. Alumnae wishing to organise a reunion for their year group can contact the Old Girls Association and/or the school to help reach out to members of their year group.
