JOIN THE P&C
We are a dedicated group of parents and citizens who want to contribute to building our school community.
Can you be a part of it?
Membership of the P&C is a great way to help support our school. By being involved in the P&C you are kept updated regularly on activities happening around the school, school policies and procedures, and P&C news – it also means you can have active input.
Being a member of the P&C also gives you voting rights at meetings and you can participate in the decision-making process. According to the P&C rules, memberships must be received and accepted at a prior meeting before you are able to vote.
Being a member of the P&C doesn’t mean you need to come along to every meeting or volunteer for anything that you don’t want to do. P&C membership must be renewed each year.
