General Information
Who is the KSPS P&C?
Kotara South Public School has a strong and active Parents & Citizens Association (P&C). The KSPS P&C is a group of parents and carers with students across all stages at Kotara South Public School.
As part of the NSW P&C Federation, we are committed to free public education for everyone, regardless of gender, cultural background, socio-economic status, and academic ability. The P&C supports parents, carers, and local community members to be a part of that process. We believe that educating our children is a joint responsibility between both parents and teachers.
Our mission statement is: For parents and carers to work in partnership with Kotara South Public School by promoting an atmosphere of community and mutual respect; and upholding the school motto ‘Strive to Achieve.'
We warmly welcome all parents, grandparents, and carers in our KSPS community to become involved in the P&C – it's a wonderful way to be involved in your child's education and support our school.
We also have an executive committee that carries out the decisions of the P&C. Every year at our AGM we call for nominations for the executive positions. The 2023 executive committee is:
President: Kyrin Farrow
Vice President: Nina Sainsbury
Vice President 1 (Canteen): Megan Wood
Vice President 2 (Uniform Shop): Megan Spencer
Treasurer: Kylie Cutro
Uniform Shop Coordinator: Angela Dwyer

What does the P&C do?
Our P&C supports KSPS in many ways. We run the canteen and uniform shop, help improve school grounds, coordinate events, and fundraise to help purchase school resources. We also meet regularly to talk about relevant topics, listen to ideas, and make decisions.
The functions of the KSPS P&C are to:
- Enhance the educational, physical, and aesthetic environments of school for the students
- Provide financial support and resources to the school
- Operate a uniform shop
- Operate the school canteen and deliver healthy food options
- Promote and support school events
Through fundraising, the P&C is able to contribute to the school in a number of ways. This includes the provision of learning resources, leadership and life education programs, presentation awards, and gardening and sporting equipment.
Our recent contributions to KSPS include:
- Nature play space
- The covered outdoor learning area (COLA) in the senior area (partial funding)
- Canteen appliances
- Library furniture
- COLA tables/chairs
- Bike/scooter racks
- Sun shelters/gazebos for sports days
- School information signs
We also are responsible for the operation of the uniform shop and “The Best Canteen” – our fresh and healthy canteen, open five days per week and looked after by our canteen manager, Mrs Best & Mrs Morrison. We also enjoy and support social and community events within the school.
