WHO RUNS THE P&C?
Whilst the P&C has a number of fantastic paid staff who work for OOSH, the Canteen and the Uniform Shop, a small group of Volunteer parents actually manage the overall running of the P&C business and without those parents, OOSH, the Canteen and Uniform shop would have to be privatised.
The President has the overall responsibility of the P&C Association business and all three of the sub-entities.
The work is extremely rewarding for those who are passionate about their area of expertise.
We warmly invite families to be an active member of our school community, by officially joining the P&C and becoming involved in the committee.
Each year children graduate from the school, with them we also lose P&C members and Executive Committee members, along with all their knowledge and experience.
It’s imperative that new parents join us, to pitch in, to voice opinions, to represent the new cohort of classes and to find future parents who will pick up the mantle of roles within the Executive Committee, such as President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary etc.
We also sometimes just need helpful hands and good ideas!
Your time is precious and none of us are idle! The more help we have, the less the burden on others. Plus, we're a friendly bunch...
Will you jump in and join us?
