Community involvement
The Croydon Public School Parents and Citizens Association (P&C) aims to:
- to promote the interests of the school by bringing parents, citizens, students and teaching staff into close co-operation
- to assist in providing facilities and equipment for the school and in promoting the recreation and welfare of the students at the school
These meetings are a very important part of the running of the school because they allow for an exchange of ideas between staff, parents/carers and community members. Some examples of what is discussed at meetings includes; school uniform changes, how the canteen and uniform shop are running, the renovations underway, relevant things happening in the community, fundraising and social events, COVID management, and traffic management. A member of the P&C also forms part of the selection panel for appointment of new teachers.
The P&C members also make decisions about how P&C funds are spent. In recent years the P&C have purchased Chromebooks and Robotics equipment for use in the classrooms, funded a Speech Pathologist position at the school and most recently the upcoming upgrade to the K-2 playground.
It's open to everyone to join, and you're welcome to come along to a meeting without joining as a member.
