P & C Association

The P&C invites parents to become involved in the school in a partnership which provides the best opportunities for students. New parents are welcomed each year with social and school activities. Monthly P&C meetings are advertised through the newsletter and all parents are invited to attend. The P&C provides a way to become involved in the school community as it fosters community spirit, friendship and gives support to the school.

The P&C has a vital role. Through the P&C, parents:
• Elect the parent representatives to the School Board;
• Discuss educational issues and the provision of resources;
• Organise the major fundraising events for the school;
• Oversee the operations of the school canteen, and -
• CASAC – the Campbell After and Before School Activity Centre.

Campbell Primary P&C Association is an incorporated body with the executive of the P&C elected at the Annual General Meeting convened in February each year.

The P&C Association is responsible for the running of the following school operations:
• The Canteen
• Before and After School Care (CASAC)
• Uniform Shop
• Music Program
• Book Club
• Information Technology Support Group
• Fundraising initiatives
