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!

Join our P&C

P&C meetings

P&C meetings are held on Tuesday of the 4th and 9th week each term, in our modern school staffroom. Our principal or school representatives also attend. All parents are welcome to attend these meetings. This association is a vital component of the school community. Meetings offer an opportunity to meet other parents and participate in projects of importance to the school. Help is always welcomed when fund raising, and events occur.

Volunteer at our school

Helping out at school is a great way to get involved in your school community.

Volunteer opportunities include:

• helping in the canteen
• getting involved in the P&C
• listening to children read in the classroom
• volunteering on sports days and other school events
• helping supervise excursions.

During your child’s years at school, there will be many opportunities for you to become involved. If you do assist at school in any way you are required to enquire at the school Office and complete the following (first visit only):

• Complete a WWCC Declaration for Volunteers and Contractors form

• Provide government issued photo identification

• Undertake a ‘Work Health and Safety’ local induction

If at any time you are required to transport students to or from the school, you will also need to provide a copy of:

• Current Drivers Licence

• Current Vehicle Registration

• Current Comprehensive Vehicle Insurance.

These will be required annually.

Please Note: When helping during the school day, at every visit you will be required to sign ON and OFF the Visitors Register at reception and receive a visitor’s badge before coming on premises. This is for your own protection (should you have an accident, or the school be evacuated or locked down during your visit) and for the safety of all students in the school.

The benefits of helping in your child’s classroom (if you are available) are many, but most importantly it helps to bridge the gap between home and school. Assisting in the classroom will also help you to understand the learning processes and activities in which your child is involved.
