P&C Meetings

We encourage all parents and carers to join our P&C. Our aim is to support an inclusive and enriching community and provide students with the experiences, resources and facilities they need. Research shows that children perform better at school when their parents are involved in their education!

IMP Tuba and Trombone to the amount of $10,560

Staff Appreciation Lunch after Speech Day to the amount of $3000

Year 7 Social Event to the amount of $3000

Next P&C meeting: Wednesday 13th March

Focus Item (tbc) starts at 7pm and the main meeting starts at 7:30pm, on Zoom.

The P&C holds meetings at 7:30pm on the second Wednesday of each month during school terms. The first meeting of the term is in the school library and the following meetings each term are held via Zoom. These meetings provide an opportunity to learn more about what is happening in the school, how it operates, to ask questions and to meet other parents. The Principal usually gives an informative report on the recent happenings within the school. 

Before most P&C meetings is a presentation on a focus item, for example on Wellbeing, eSafety, or how a particular subject is taught. If you have a suggestion for a focus item, please email the P&C: info@fortstreetpandc.org.
