Parents and citizens association

A parents and citizens association (P&C) is a school based organisation consisting of parents, teachers and interested citizens established under the guidelines of the Education Act 1990. 

A key role identified in the education act is for the P&C to assist in providing facilities and equipment for the school and promoting the recreation and welfare of the students at the school.

Parents and citizens association meetings 

Our P&C meets on the 3rd and the 8th Monday of each term at 7.30pm in the school staffroom.
