What is
the P&C?
At Manly Village Public School we have a wonderfully dynamic
Parents & Citizens (P&C) Association One of the
main aims of the parents of the P&C, is to improve the
school experience for every child (beyond that which the
Department of Education and Training (DET) provides) in
a non-political, non-discriminatory manner.
What can
I expect at a meeting?
The P&C meets on the 2nd Tuesday of the month in the
Sir Roden Cutler Technology Room on the ground floor. We
start at 7.30pm sharp and finish by 9.30pm.
We try to combine a guest speaker, (topics vary according
to need) updates from parent lead teams, and consultation
with parents on a variety of issues from website updates
to budgeting to landscaping. We aim to do this in a timely,
effective and efficient manner and welcome all parents to
join us. This is a fantastic forum for staying up to date
with what is happening in the school. A staff representative
and the Principal also participate in these meetings.
One of the main roles of the P&C is to raise funds
for important resources in addition to those funded by the
Department of Education and Training (DET). In recent years
funding has been allocated mainly to reading and maths resources,
internet cabling, new sports courts and sports equipment.
By attending P&C meetings you have the opportunity to
vote on how funds are spent and discuss many aspects of
the school.
What
activities are the parents of the P&C involved in?
This school has a great tradition of parental involvement.
The parents of the P&C are involved with a huge array
of projects throughout the school, capturing a broad range
of interests and talents. These include
Each year an Annual General
meeting is held at which the Executive members are voted
in. This is advertised in the Seasider Newsletter. The MVPS
P&C Executive comprises the President, two Vice Presidents,
Secretary, Treasurer and Library Trust Fund Administrator.
One of the Executive members also participates in decision
making on the School Council, as the P&C representative.
The P&C is also represented on the Library Trust Fund
committee, by the P&C President.
