Overview
Every Fadden family is already a member of the Fadden P&C Committee. Joining us at a P & C meeting provides a great chance to meet new people, exchange ideas and become involved in your child's schooling. It is a social forum where parents, carers and the school's executive interact and can express their thoughts about school issues in a supportive environment.
The Fadden P&C comprises a diverse group of members with different skills, views and time commitments. We completely understand that many of our families are time-poor and are not always able to commit to formal roles - everyone is welcome!
We aim to create a P&C that is energetic, pragmatic and friendly, while being focused on supporting school programs, staff and the kids of Fadden Primary.
All parents, carers, citizens and teachers may be members of the P&C Association. Why not come along to our next meeting?
Role
The role of the P&C is to:
- Promote parent participation in school activities and encourage strong positive community support;
- Provide a forum for parents to discuss and debate school issues, education issues and policies;
- Raise funds for school resources;
- Providing a music program and second-hand uniform shop for the Fadden community; and
- Promote the benefits of the role and functions of the P&C as well as the benefits to participation.
What’s in it for me?
Involvement in the P&C offers many benefits to Fadden PS parents and carers. Some of these include:
- Getting to know the Principal better;
- Understanding more about school processes, issues and key events;
- Opportunity to express opinion on school matters;
- Learn new skills;
- Meet other parents; and
- Contribute to your child/ren’s educational experience.
