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
You are very welcome to come along to our next meeting, have a cup of tea and join our wonderful P&C.
What is a P&C
A P&C (Parents and Citizens) Association is a group of parents, carers, school staff, and community members who collaborate to support the school. It serves as a platform for parents to engage in children’s education, contribute to the school community, and advocate for the needs of the students and families.
Who is part of the Dalmeny Public School P&C?
All parents and carers of students at the school, as well as interested community members.
The committee includes:
• President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer, who are responsible for leading and managing the P&C.
• Subcommittee Coordinators who oversee specific initiatives like Out of School Hours Service (OoSH), the canteen, and the uniform shop. They report back to the Executive/membership for decision-making.
• General Members – parents and carers who participate, share ideas, volunteer for events, and vote at P&C meetings.
• The School Principal is an ex-officio member, who provides reports, advice and guidance relating to Department of Education policy and procedures at P&C meetings.
The role of P&C members includes contributing ideas, volunteering for school events, and assisting with fundraising initiatives.
Is the P&C part of the school?
No, the P&C is an independent body that works closely with the school but operates separately. It collaborates with the school leadership to support students and enhance the educational experience.
