THE PARENTS AND CITIZENS ( P & C) ASSOCIATION OF

PEAKHURST WEST PUBLIC SCHOOL

 

We would like to extend an invitation to all parents/carers of Peakhurst West students to attend our P & C meetings on the first Tuesday of each month.

 

P & C meetings are informal and friendly. Parents and staff discuss matters regarding educational issues, the curriculum, P & C funding and expenditure, and upcoming events. Individual committees give brief reports and general issues of concern or interest are discussed. Decisions are also made regarding school improvements.

 

At the Annual General Meeting, all positions are declared vacant. Following is a short description of each position.
