Our P&C
The P&C Association is the forum for parents and citizens in government schools who have an interest in their children’s education for the purpose of supporting a strong school system for the benefit of all students. The functions of the P&C include:
- Develop parent participation and involvement in the school
- Promote and support communication and cooperation within the school community
- Provide extra resources for the benefit of government school students
- P&C Associations can fundraise, but this is not their sole purpose. However, all surplus funds of the P&C must be used for the benefit of students attending the school.
