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!

Why become a member?

Joining the P&C is about being involved for you children, making a difference, building a community, meeting new people, forming friendships and having fun!

Your level of involvement is up to you, you don’t have to be available for every event we run, most of our members have full time jobs, you can volunteer your time as much or a little as you want.

Engaged P&C members in strong numbers will give the best opportunity for us to combine resources and share the load resulting in greater output and success.

Members can participate in the decision-making processes of the P&C, vote on matters and hold an executive position on the committee.

When do we meet?

The P&C meets on a Wednesday night at 7.00pm in the staff room at Springwood Public on the 3^rd and 8^th week of each term. The meetings are informal, and we generally finish by 8pm. At these meetings, we organise fundraising and social events, discuss contributions to the school and receive a report from our Principal (Mehmet Mehmet).

Even if you are not able to attend a meeting, you will receive an emailed copy of the minutes of each meeting.
