WHAT IS THE P&C?
The role of the P & C is to meet together to determine and promote the needs and interests of the school community by bringing parents, citizens, students and teaching staff into close co-operation. We assist in providing facilities and equipment for the school, and as well as promoting the recreation needs and welfare of the students at school.
It is open to all members of the school community: parents, teachers and citizens.
