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.

P&C MEETINGS

P&C meetings are held during Weeks 2 and 8 of each school term. 

If you would like to vote and have your say at meetings, you are welcome to join our wonderful committee. Membership is $2.00. Forms may be collected from the school front office or downloaded HERE.

All parents and community members are warmly invited to attend any meeting. Children are also welcome to attend with parents and carers.

If you’re unable to attend a face-to-face meeting, we have the ability to set up a Zoom meeting so you don’t miss out. Please email vicepresident.oldbarpandc@gmail.com before the next meeting.

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.
