The Parents and Citizens Association (P&C) is a not-for-profit organisation run by a group of volunteers, whose primary role is to support the school on a variety of projects and advise the Principal on matters such as school facilities, curriculum, local policy issues, fundraising, resources and community concerns.
Meeting details
Regular meetings are held and we extend an open invitiation to the whole school community to attend:
- Location: School staffroom
- Date: Every third Monday during school term
- Start time: 7:30pm
These meetings are relaxed and friendly around a cup of coffee and some nibbles.
Parents and friends who attend these meetings can:
- have a say in how the P&C and school function
- develop friendships with other families
- exchange ideas and tips about the way to care for their children
- find out about the services available in the wider community.
School bus service
The P&C owns five modern up-to-date buses ranging from a Toyota Coaster to 14-seat Toyota Commuters and employs a number of drivers to perform morning and afternoon school runs as contractors to the Assisted School Travel Program.
We have a dedicated full-time Bus Transport Manager, who runs the transport side of the P&C but also assists with other administrative and managerial activities.
Other projects we have funded
Some of the projects funded by the P&C in previous years are:
- Employment of a part-time music therapist.
- Renovation of the kitchen facilities and the addition of a laundry.
- Funding of a speech therapy program across the entire school.
- Use of the P&C buses for Community access and outings.
- Purchase of library books.
- Assistance with school events such as 50thanniversary and Year 12 Graduation.
- Mothers' Day & Fathers' Day stalls, Christmas raffles.
Additional projects or the extension of existing projects are continuously being reviewed and adjusted based on parents and school staff's input.
