John Purchase Public School

About the P&C

The John Purchase Public School Parents and Citizens’ Association is a dedicated group of parents, teachers and interested citizens that work to provide financial and organisational support to the school. The P&C is responsible for:

• Bringing parents, citizens, students and teaching staff into close co-operation;
• Providing facilities and equipment for the school;
• Encouraging parent and community participation in curriculum and other educational issues at the school;
• Co-operating with teaching staff at public functions at the school

The P&C not only organises fundraising events such as school fetes, discos etc, but owns and manages key facilities at the school including: OOSH, the Canteen, the Uniform Shop and the School Bands. We also provide funding for our Special Needs Teacher.

When and where do we meet?

The P&C Association meets every second Monday of the month at 7 pm during school term in the staff room in the Administration block of the school. The meetings are open to all parents of the school and interested citizens in the area.

How do I get involved?

You can participate in the P&C as much or as little as your time and interest permits. If you have time and a little commitment or a specific skill you can offer, then you may want to consider a position on the executive or on one of the subcommittees. If you don’t have a lot of time you can help out by becoming involved as a volunteer for one of the many fundraising events. Any help is appreciated.
