Without a P&C the above events and donations aren’t possible, so please get involved.

As a parent of a student at our school, you are not automatically a member of the P&C. To become a member, please submit your membership form for approval at the upcoming AGM. Please find the membership at the link below and send it to pandcsecretarypbss@gmail.com

This means that should an issue arise during the school year which you feel strongly about, and you are a member, you will be able to vote on the matter and have your say.

Being part of the P&C is a great way to meet other parents and be involved in fundraising and supporting the school community. As a member of the P&C you have the opportunity to join the conversation on how funds raised are spent to enhance your child’s school experience.

P&C meetings which are held week 4 and 8 of each term, please contact us at pandc@palmbeachss.eq.edu.au if you have any questions.
