Community involvement
At our school, we believe that strong partnerships between families, carers, and the wider community are essential to our students’ success. Our active Parents and Citizens (P&C) Association offers a welcoming way for parents and carers to get involved, share their skills, and support our school. They are also keen to support staff wellbeing initiatives as a way to demonstrate their appreciation. Your time, energy, and commitment help create a vibrant, inclusive, and thriving environment where every student can flourish.
Parents and Citizens Association (P&C)
Our P&C is a vibrant and welcoming group made up of parents, guardians, teachers, and community members all dedicated to supporting our school and enriching the experience for every student.
Joining the P & C is a great way to meet other families, get involved and contribute to our school's future. We would love to have you on board! You can contribute your ideas and skills to help shape the future of our school in a transparent and collaborative environment. The P&C plays a vital role in managing the canteen, the second-hand uniform online shop, and the book club. Beyond this, we provide valuable resources and equipment to enhance school facilities and organise fun events that bring our community together.
