Parents, carers and the community

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.

Counselling for families

The school counsellor can assist when families undergo a trauma or big change. Contact us to make an appointment. For information in community languages, see school counselling service.

Outside of the education system, free telephone counselling services are available to support families who may be going through a difficult time.

  • Lifeline – 24-hour telephone counselling service. 13 11 14.
  • Mensline Australia – 24-hour telephone counselling service for men. 1300 789 978.
  • Parent line – an advice and information service. 1300 1300 52.

Interpreting and translations

We will help you communicate with our school. If you’d like an interpreter for a school meeting, let us know and we will arrange one, if available.

If you don’t speak or understand English well and want to contact us, call TIS National on 131 450 and ask for an interpreter in your language. The operator will call the school and get an interpreter to help. This service is free.

For more information, listen in your language.

Visit the department’s translated documents section for important information that’s relevant for your child’s education in many languages.

The P&C meets on the first Tuesday of each month at 3pm in the school annex. All parents are encouraged to attend. Meetings have a general business session and an agenda. Names and phone numbers of executive are available through the school.

The P&C does a lot of fundraising, through events such as the Easter raffle, food days, guessing competitions, cake stalls and Dural Bunnings BBQ. There are also annual events, such as auctions and dinners. The P&C supports schools programs, including the library, specialised music program, technology equipment and resources and uniforms.

The P&C is very grateful for their sponsors, Bendigo Bank and Wisemans Ferry Central, for their generous donations that have supplied each child with a new sports shirt.
