Randwick backs TAFE film night, school donations and fee waiver for community event

Randwick City Council has approved a mix of sponsorships, cash donations and in-kind support for local schools, community groups and an education program, including $3,052 for the Randwick TAFE Screen and Media 2026 film screening and awards night.

The funding was adopted at the council's 28 April meeting, along with a separate financial assistance package covering plant donations, a venue fee waiver and direct contributions to school and community events.

Under the resolutions, council will donate $300 worth of plants from its nursery to Coogee Public School for a Mother's Day stall in May, and $500 worth of plants to Clovelly Childcare Centre for its Annual Green Fair in May. It also approved a $1,750 donation to Randwick High School for its annual show, 'London Calling', at NIDA, and $1,060 to Botany Randwick Rotary Club for its Dog Fun Day at Arthur Byrne Reserve in May.

Council also waived $2,166.50 in Prince Henry Centre fees for Women’s Well - Eastern Suburbs to hold a free community event about menopause.

For residents and local organisations, the decisions provide practical support for school fundraising, community events and a student showcase, while reducing venue costs for one free public event at the Prince Henry Centre.

The TAFE sponsorship covers cinema hire and associated technical costs, as well as first, second and third prize awards for students in the Screen and Media program.

The minutes do not set out any further approval steps for these donations and sponsorships, indicating they were adopted as part of the April meeting resolutions.
