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!
What does the P&C do?
The aim of the P&C is to –
- Promote the interests of the school by bringing parents, citizens, students and teaching staff into close co-operation
- Assist in providing facilities and equipment for the school and in promoting the recreation and welfare of the students at the school
Some of the ways we do this at West Pymble Public School are –
- Fundraising for school facilities and equipment like learning resources for classrooms, new playground spaces and sustainability initiatives
- Applying for grants funding to cover the costs of a specific project at the school
- Hosting events throughout the year
- Running the school canteen
- Operating the second hand uniform stall
- Overseeing the band committee
- Organising school ground working bees
Join our P&C
