Community involvement
Our school values strong partnerships with our families and community. Parents and carers can get involved through our Parents and Citizens Association (P&C) or by volunteering at our school. Your time and support help make our school a better place for everyone.
Parents and Citizens Association (P&C)
- President: Jess Osypenko
- Vice President: Sophie Cook
- Secretary: Emma Heuston
- Treasurer: Gwen Matcham
- Uniforms: Cassandra Charlton and Steph Eggenhuizen
- Fundraising: Collaborative Effort between all P&C members
Join our P&C
Membership is open to all parents and guardians of students attending the school, and to all citizens. Our school P&C is always keen to welcome new members. Annual membership is a gold coin donation and entitles you to be involved in the decision-making of the P&C. It is also a great way to meet other parents, and get a greater insight into school activities.
In the past few years, the P&C has upgraded the school playground, organised the school bush dance, assisted in the establishment of out of school hours (OOSH) and the guitar and percussion groups. We have also cooked a lot of sausages in our fundraising efforts.
