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.
Counselling for families
The school counsellor can assist when families undergo a trauma or big change. Contact us to make an appointment. For information in community languages, see school counselling service.
Outside of the education system, free telephone counselling services are available to support families who may be going through a difficult time.
- Lifeline – 24-hour telephone counselling service. Ph: 13 11 14.
- Mensline Australia – 24-hour telephone counselling service for men. Ph: 1300 789 978.
- Parent line – an advice and information service. Ph: 1300 1300 52.
The education of your child and the ongoing improvement of conditions within the school are greatly assisted by the efforts of the P&C. Your support will guarantee continued improvement.
Meetings are usually held on the second Tuesday of each month in the staff common room in the administration building, commencing at 6:00pm. All parents are warmly invited to attend.
Parents are actively involved in fundraising and consulted on matters of school policy. Parents are represented on the school's uniform commitee, staff selection committees, enrolment placement committee, finance committee and other committees established to review policies such as welfare and discipline, as required.
Special parent and subject information evenings are held throughout the year.
Our current P&C committee:
President: Christine Duffy
Vice President: Belinda Hill
Secretary: Darin McLean
Treasurer: Deborah Plant (Temporary)

Interpreting and translations
We will help you communicate with our school. If you’d like an interpreter for a school meeting, let us know and we will arrange one, if available.
If you don’t speak or understand English well and want to contact us, call TIS National on 131 450 and ask for an interpreter in your language. The operator will call the school and get an interpreter to help. This service is free.
For more information, listen in your language.
Visit the department’s translated documents section for important information that’s relevant for your child’s education in many languages.
