|
|
Events like the Fine Wine and Food Show, School Fetes, social nights and barbecues; |
|
|
School Band and Library support; |
|
|
Canteen and Uniform shop assistance; |
|
|
Parent and Citizen Association; and |
|
|
School Council meetings. |
Parents and Citizens Association (P&C) |
The
best way to provide support and find out more about the school and its students
is to attend the Parent & Citizen Association (P&C) meetings. These
meetings are friendly and extremely informative. New faces and fresh ideas are
always welcomed.
P&C meetings are held in the School Administration Block on the second
Wednesday of every month at 7.00 pm.
P&C meetings provide an opportunity to become involved with the management
of the school and to contribute your ideas or raise issues for discussion.
Topics of interest relating to student development and specific educational
programs are also presented.
One
of the main roles of the P&C is to raise much needed funds to improve the
school environment and education resources. The P&C Fund-raising team gets
together once a term to plan and organize various social events and
fundraising.
For those parents that like to be hands-on and work with other like minded
people this is the perfect role. Personal satisfaction guaranteed!
All
parents and citizens are invited to be members of the P&C. When you are
involved in school activities, you have loads of fun, make great friends and
are amply rewarded by seeing your children shine with pride when you are
around.
If you would like any further information on the Oatley P&C, or any school
related activities, please don't hesitate to enquire at the school office or
talk to the P&C President.
Voluntary School Contributions |
The voluntary school contribution is levied each year to
help provide the range of equipment and materials needed by the children.
The
School Council comprises two staff, four parents, two community
representatives, a P&C representative as well as the school Principal. The
School Council does not make any day to day decisions. It is responsible for
setting the future goals and directions for the school.
Positions on the School Council are held for a maximum four year term. When
positions become available they are advertised within the school community and
interested parties are voted into the role.
If you are interested in finding out more about the School Council, please feel
free to talk to the School Council President or the Principal.
