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.
About us
Please come and join our P&C! We are a small group of parents, carers, teachers, community members and friends who meet regularly to support our school - Quaama Public. Our main aim is to undertake activities that benefit our kids, support our school and contribute to a vibrant school community. Some of the things we do include: fundraising, working bees, applying for grants and helping with school social events. We also run the school's uniform shop. The money we raise is used to upkeep school grounds, subsidise school excursions and improve school facilities. Got questions? Contact us at quaamaPandC@outlook.com
Meetings
Meetings happen about once a month during term time. They are usually on a weeknight, 6-7pm - check out the school newsletter or Compass for dates and times. You can attend in person at the school or via zoom (zoom links are circulated ahead of each meeting via Compass and email). Meetings are a great way to keep up-to-date with what's happening at the school and hear the latest news and developments from the Principal. They are also an opportunity for us to plan upcoming activities, keep projects on track and agree on how the money we raise should be spent.
