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.
All Parents & carers of students attending Glenfield Public School as well as teachers and general citizens can attend meetings as observers, they can raise questions and concerns. The meetings usually occur every 4 weeks, and dates are advised on the school newsletter.
If you wish to become a financial member of the association a $1 yearly payment is required, this allows you to vote, move motions, and hold positions on the committee. Payment can be made at the second-hand uniform shop or the website.
Please feel free to contact us via our P&C Facebook page should you have any further questions, about our meetings and/or suggestions.
Committee members are voted on at the beginning of each school year.
