ABOUT THE P&C
The P&C, in partnership with Amaroo School, supports students’ learning experience by:
- providing a forum for parents to discuss educational matters;
- encouraging co-operation and community involvement in the school;
- fundraising for the school, particularly through the operations of the canteen and uniform shop; and
- advising parent Board members of the view of the parent body on particular issues.
The P&C welcomes all parents and community members. It’s your opportunity to have a say in school matters and help the school achieve its goals.
Sign up to the Amaroo P&C mailing list to receive information on meetings, events and fundraising activities.
The P&C is governed by the Constitution. Please refer to the following link for Constitution Rules.
KEY P&C ACITIVITIES
Canteen
The P&C operates the canteen during Break 1 and Break 2, five days a week. The canteen provides healthy food options for the Amaroo school community and is a key contributor to student wellbeing at school. It also is a key vehicle for raising funds which the school can use to support student activities.
Uniform shop
The P&C operates the school uniform shop selling second-hand uniforms and a select range of new uniform items for students in Kindergarten to Year 10. The shop is staffed by volunteers and profits raised from sales are used to benefit all students.
Fundraising
The P&C undertakes activities to raise funds for the school. These activities have included school discos, Election BBQs, school fete, Mothers & Fathers Day gift stalls. In 2021 the P&C purchased the electronic sign at the front of the school to promote school events. We’d love your help as volunteers to do these activities.
