The Parents and Citizens' Association (P&C) is a group of community minded people, parents and citizens who take a more formal role to assist the school in providing feedback on school policies and activities, additional resources to be used to enhance student learning, and are actively involved in their child's education.
Joining the P&C is a great way to keep informed, to contribute to the quality education of your children, and to make new friends. Your contribution can be as large or as small as you can manage, but your support of the P&C Association is invaluable. As a P&C member, not only are you supporting the school community, but you are supported by the school community. You can learn new skills and gain a clearer understanding of how the school operates. This is a great opportunity to share in the school's decision making process and shape the future.
