Parents & Citizen’s Association (P&C) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________

There is a saying that ‘it takes a village to raise a child’ and at HRSS, together with a strong school community the P&C is leading the way to provide much needed additional funding &

support for our students, teachers and families.

About the P&C The HRSS P&C is built up of a team of dedicated parents, teachers and members of the community whose aim is to support Highland Reserve State School through building a good culture, financial contribution and community engagement. Funds raised and time volunteered by the P&C members and active parent helpers creates a positive and lasting impact on the school and its community.

Why join the P&C? Members make a difference by: � Consulting on school policy � Assisting with school functions � Making the school a happier and more

connected place

� Financial planning and budgeting � Applying for grants � Building the school community

The P&C at Highland Reserve has assisted the school in many ways so far and look forward to continuing to further that in the years to come. Walking around you may notice some of the things the P&C has helped contribute towards, these include: • Hearing testing for all prep students • Extra bubblers at the hall • Funding various education programs – (Bravehearts Ditto and Life Education) • Fundraising and writing grants which help to provide:

○ Playgrounds ○ Environmental enclosure ○ Kiss ‘n’ Go shelter/Shade structure on the oval ○ Air conditioning in classrooms ○ Installation of amplified sound systems in the prep classrooms ○ The Chaplaincy program ○ Extra classroom learning tools such as iPads

How you can help

Join the P&C Join the P&C and get involved. There is no pressure in having to volunteer for everything. You can involve yourself as much or as little as you are comfortable with. It allows you to have a say and keep informed. We appreciate that not everyone can get to P&C meetings. We also understand that some parents and carers may wish to “lend a hand” from time to time. You will need to attend one meeting to join in most cases. (Our Annual General Meeting call allow parents to join without attendance)

Your skills and hobbies can be an added benefit to the children of the school including yours. Please fill out the attached “Active Parent Helper” information to be added to our volunteer database for the year. A great way to help out, make friends and get involved.
