As a parent or carer, you are an important part of our school community. We offer a range of services to support you and your family.
Parents and Citizens’ Association (P&C)
Our Parents and Citizens’ Association (P&C) is made up of parents and carers, teachers and community members. The P&C meets regularly to contribute to decision-making, developing policies and management plans as well as fundraising.
Grenfell Public School Parents & Citizens Association (GPS P&C) are dedicated to promoting the interests of our school by:
- bringing parents, citizens, students and teaching staff into close cooperation
- raising funds to assist in providing facilities and equipment for our school
- promoting the recreation and welfare of all students.
The key focus of the P&C is to provide a forum in which parents can:
- express their needs and aspirations for their children
- discuss and debate school issues
- provide input to educational issues and policies
- contribute to developing a strong partnership between our parents and our school.
We welcome all parents/carers who wish to give their time to support our school with many options available.
General meetings are held in the school staff room at 7:00 pm on the second Tuesday of each month.
If you are interested in finding out how you can support our school please email: grenfellpublicschoolpandc@gmail.com.
Our P&C is a great example of how successful student learning can be when parents and staff work together.
Grenfell Public School P&C pride ourselves on working together for the future of our school and students.
