P&C Associations are governed by the
Constitution of the Association (PDF, 487KB) and work in collaboration and consultation with the Principal to grow and support the school community.
In 2018, the P&C Association are very actively focusing on fundraising through school events and stalls. Systems were investigated so as to promote volunteering and engaging the community in supporting the school.
The P&C raised funds to support student engagement in anti-bullying programs such as Brainstorm Productions and Circus Challenge; Healthy Programs such as Life Education and construction of shade shelters in the Junior School. Grant writing also features in 2018.
The P&C Fundraising for 2018 is funding the air-conditioning/Solar panels project.
