Coogee PS P&C presents
THE HISTORY
This is what happens when you combine rock'n'roll, nostalgia, fashion, cabaret and old fashioned community spirit in the aid of a worthy cause. 'The Big Thong', an annual trivia/concert fund-raising night, is the highlight of the social calendar at Coogee Public School in Sydney's eastern suburbs.
Since its inception in 2003 at the instigation of Stuart Davis and a group of parents, 'The Big Thong' has grown into a high-profile event that raises thousands of dollars each year by drawing on the myriad talents of parents and friends - in music, fashion, dance and organisation. More importantly, The Thong (as it is affectionately known) is a great builder of community spirit and is a way for new parents at Coogee to get involved with the school.
Most of all it's a damned fine night out.

Coogee Diggers Club
The Spiritual Home of The Big Thong
Nestled up on the hill overlooking the suburb of Coogee is The Coogee Diggers. Often regarded as home to a few pokie machines and older aged locals enjoying a beer, in the past few years this Coogee establishment has really stepped up in terms of catering to families. Phil and team are working really hard to make The Bunker Bar, a burgeoning, intimate live music venue with performances throughout the week. READ ARTICLE
