Parents & Citizens' Association
Education Queensland recognises only one parent representative body in a state school. At Corinda this is the Corinda State Primary School P&C Association.
All parents and citizens of the district are invited to attend meetings and help with the activities of the P & C Association.
Corinda State Primary School is proud of the extent of parental involvement in school activities, and as the official parent body, the Association welcomes you to a progressive school and looks forward to your involvement.
Meetings
When: Third Tuesday of the month
Where: Staff Room
7.00 pm - doors open
7.30 pm - General Meeting opens and concludes by 9.30pm.
Sub-committees
Sub-committees are encouraged to be as autonomous as practically possible. Most of the ‘hands on' work in the school is organised through the sub-committees. Each sub-committee reports monthly to the P&C at the general meeting to enable co-ordination and the overseeing of operations to occur.
Grounds & Landscaping Committee
The Grounds & Landscaping Sub-Committee works closely with the janitor-groundsman and principal of the school in giving support for the improvement and maintenance of the grounds. Help and assistance are always welcome from parents at working bees and doing odd jobs from time to time to maintain our grounds in a safe and attractive condition. Working Bees are held 3 - 4 times each year.
Strategic Planning Committee
This group consists of some nominated members of the P&C and staff representatives. They plan the long term direction of the school.
Trading Committee
This sub-committee co-ordinates the school tuckshop, organises uniform sales, stationery and bookpack sales, and undertakes some catering functions. Help is needed from parents who feel they could become involved in any of the various activities associated with this group.
P&C Learning Resource Contribution Scheme
Every year the P & C Association, on your behalf, collects a contribution from each family which is spent in ways that directly benefit your children. Past years experience has shown that when the Learning Resource Contribution Scheme is well supported, then the necessity for other fund raising activities is lessened.
The amount is:
$30 for a family with one child at the school and $40 for a family with more than one child at the school.
The annual contribution scheme is in addition to, and separate from, the Paper / Art / Technology subscription which is payable directly to the school.
The annual contribution scheme is an important part of the school fundraising program and requires your support.
How to become a member of the P&C
The Education Act requires that voting members of the Association have their names placed on the Register of Members, kept by the secretary. Application forms for membership are available at each general meeting, and these forms are presented for acceptance by the meeting before the close of business.
A copy of the constitution is available on request from the Association Secretary.
We encourage you to have your name on our register and hope you will have much enjoyment getting to know the school through our informative and varied times together.
Attendance at P & C Meetings, working bees, tuckshop as well as the various school functions will provide you with added contact, not only with school personnel, but other parents. We look forward to the social aspect as well as the personal support or involvement. This enables both parents and staff to get to know each other better and appreciate the goals of our school and its teachers.
