Any school parent is welcome to join us at our P&C General Meetings, usually twice a term. It is our job to help make the following happen:
PRIMARY P&C OBJECTIVES (as stated by the P&C Federation of NSW)
- To promote the interests of the School by bringing parents, citizens, pupils and teaching staff into close co-operation
- Assist in providing equipment required by the School.
Members of the P&C decide at a General Meeting how the funds are to be disbursed.

FUNDRAISING
To continue adding value to our School the P&C asks for Voluntary Contributions at the start of each year, and has special fundraisers throughout the year. Recent popular fundraisers have been The Walkathon, The Annual Fete, Mothers Day and Fathers Day Stalls, plus a Tupperware Drive. Please support as many of these events as you can, much hard work goes into them and every dollar raised benefits our children.
