Parents and Citizens Association Sub-committees
Sub committees report to and are governed by the P&C Association, however they coordinate their own activities on a daily basis. Sub-committees at our school include:
Canteen
Consists of a small committee of members who manage the daily running of the school canteen, promote healthy food and organise the volunteer roster. The committee is also responsible for the canteen manager. Profits raised from the canteen are donated to the P&C Association.
Uniform Shop
This committee orders and supplies all school uniform needs for students, and promote new products as required. Profits raised are donated to the P&C Association.
Arts & Craft
This committee organises after school arts & crafts activities for each term.
Events
This committee coordinates the fundraising events such as the biannual Multicultural Fair. Profits raised from the events are donated to the P&C Association
What We Do
The P&C generally meet monthly on the third Wednesday evening at 8 pm in the Heritage Room. These meetings start with a review of the previous minutes, items on agenda, followed by reports from the school Principal, office bearers, and sub-committees. As well, guest speakers are invited to give presentations on topics of interest. P&C meetings also provide a forum for parents to raise issues for discussion about the school and local community.
The P&C also promotes fundraising activities to assist the school in providing general and specialist educational programs and equipment for teachers and students. Funds raised by sub-committees and from fundraising activities are held in trust and spent at the discretion of the P&C Association. At the Annual General Meeting held at the end of each year, relevant subcommittees provide an annual trading profit and loss statement and all positions become vacant. All parents are invited to apply for positions and are formally elected to take up their roles for the forthcoming year.
