The Parents’ and Citizens' Association is a group
of community minded people, parents and citizens, who take on a more formal
role to assist the school in providing:
- Feedback on school policies and activities.
- Additional resources to be used to enhance
student learning.
- Parents with opportunities to be involved in
their child's education.
The Parents’ and Citizens’ Association is designed
to work with the principal and the school community in a productive partnership
to achieve the best possible outcomes for students.
Meetings
of the Upper Brookfield State School Parents’ and Citizens’ Association are
held every month unless otherwise
advised through the school newsletter. All parents are invited to become
members of the Parents’ and Citizens’ Association and are warmly welcomed at
the meetings and encouraged to become actively involved in the school. Please check the website calendar for meeting dates.
Meetings
provide a forum for discussion on a variety of issues related to the school,
its students and curriculum.
The
Parents’ and Citizens’ Association fulfils a major role in the school through
fundraising activities which are also important social events. They also
organise social activities for the benefit of the school and the school
community. The Parents’ and Citizens’ Association provide services such as
Fun Food Friday.
Joining the Parents’ and Citizens’ Association is
one of the best ways to show your children how much you value their education
and how interested you are in what they do. You are demonstrating to your
children how committed you are to helping students and your school community.
Participating in Parents’ and Citizens’ Association activities can also help
you to form friendships with other parents and carers and feel a part of your
school community.
