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.
Counselling for families
The school counsellor can assist when families undergo a trauma or big change. Contact us to make an appointment. For information in community languages, see school counselling service.
Outside of the education system, free telephone counselling services are available to support families who may be going through a difficult time.
- Lifeline – 24-hour telephone counselling service. 13 11 14.
- Mensline Australia – 24-hour telephone counselling service for men. 1300 789 978.
- Parent line – an advice and information service. 1300 1300 52.
Interpreting and translations
We will help you communicate with our school. If you’d like an interpreter for a school meeting, let us know and we will arrange one, if available.
If you don’t speak or understand English well and want to contact us, call TIS National on 131 450 and ask for an interpreter in your language. The operator will call the school and get an interpreter to help. This service is free.
For more information, listen in your language.
Visit the department’s translated documents section for important information that’s relevant for your child’s education in many languages.
The P&C meets on the third Monday of each month, alternately at 6:30pm and 9am during the term.
Our P&C members are a dedicated and hard-working group of people. Each year they raise money which goes towards making our school a better place for both children, staff and the community.
They organise barbecues for school events such as open days, sports carnivals, discos and slice drives. They also run mother's/father's day stalls, Christmas photos and more! Your ideas for events are more then welcome.
All new families to the school are welcome to join the P&C.
We would also like to invite all sponsors to contact us. We will be acknowledge all those who made donations in the school newsletter.
We at the P&C hope to continue to make Plumpton Public School an even better place to grow and learn.
