Why should I join the P&C?
Joining the P&C is a great way to get involved with the school community and meet other parents and carers in a relaxed, inclusive environment. We welcome people of all interests, skills, and availability, and you can become a member at any point in the year.
Formally, P&C members can vote on matters raised and decisions taken at P&C meetings. Members can also become part of the executive committee. Members also receive a copy of meeting minutes regardless of meeting attendance. Membership costs $2 per year.
To be able to continue the work that we do, we need support from parents and carers. We simply couldn't do it without you! If you are interested in becoming a member but unsure about committing your time, you can rest assured that there will never be any obligation to give more time than you are comfortable with.
A message from Whitney Morrison, our 2022 president:
I would love our P&C to be made up of active members from our diverse school community. I am passionate about community and creating an environment where families feel heard, supported, and can thrive, especially when contributing to support those around them.
I want to create opportunities for families to connect with each other and the school to strengthen our community network. If we have a large and diverse group of people vote on and contribute to ideas, our projects will reflect a larger portion of our school community.
Can I become involved if I am not a member?
We warmly welcome all parents and carers to share their time and skills with us, if possible, whether members or not. We are appreciative of volunteer time, whether ad-hoc, one-off, or on a regular basis. Volunteers do not have to be P&C members to support our projects and donate time. Here are some examples of ways to get involved:
- Do a shift in the school canteen
- Support our events and fundraising initiatives
- Participate in gardens and grounds days
- Manage the uniform shop or Book Club
- Have a voice in our activities by attending meetings
