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) or by volunteering at our school. 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.

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!

We, the P&C Committee, often get asked what the P&C is all about. So read on!

So what is a P&C?

A P&C stands for Parents and Citizens Association. Every school community should have one. Membership is open to everyone within the school community – parents, teachers, grandparents and citizens.

The P&C at our school is formed of parents who contribute to how things happen in the school, what events or activities are taking place, what children have access to, programs that teachers can implement and providing school resources.

Did you know..

Over the past couple of years, the P&C has provided funds for children’s books, sports equipment and activities, maths and literacy programs, the outdoor playspace and garden, excursions, new library furniture and much more. We run the uniform shop and provide healthy and interesting meal deals. We organise the Athletics Carnival BBQ and cake stall, Easter and Mother's Day Raffles, Mother's and Father's Day stalls, major fundraising events like the Moonlight Cinema or Garden Grooves, and the weekly school Ethics Classes. We also support Harmony Day and Education Week Open Day and the highly popular school disco!

Without the P&C these things would not happen.

We hear a lot of great suggestions for the school, and we warmly thank all those parent volunteers who help out on various activities. This all improves the school for our children.

We invite any parent or carer to attend a meeting to come and see what it’s about. We meet twice a term. Let us know if the time/day of the meeting doesn’t suit but you would like to be involved! We really value parents fundraising ideas and your ideas for spending money on our children at school. Some ways in which you can help: helping with meal deals, baking goodies for cake stalls, helping with events or activities, joining the exec team or training to be an ethics teacher.

If you want to find out more then just email us  secretary@pacificpalms.onmicrosoft.com  or talk to the office or reach out to us in person or at the school gate.

Thanks everyone!
