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). Your time and support help make our school a better place for everyone.

Parents and Citizens Association (P&C)

Our P&C is a group of parents, carers and school community members. They assist with school planning, fundraising, events and volunteering. Our P&C works in partnership with our school to promote the interests of our school community at school presentations, orientation evenings and selection panels to choose the best teachers for your boys when a position becomes available.

The objectives of the parents and citizens are to:

• Promote the interests of the school through co-operation and parental engagement
• Encourage parent and community participation in curriculum and other education issues in the school.
• Assist the teaching staff in the establishment of school policy and management in all facets of school activities.
• Assist in providing facilities and equipment for the school and in promoting the recreation and welfare of the students at the school.

Join our P&C

Joining the P&C a great way to meet other families, get involved and contribute to our school's future. We would love to have you on board!
