Parent Partnerships

When your children start school at Neutral Bay, parents have the opportunity to join various support groups. At general meetings, parents are encouraged to take on an active role in school life.

School Council

The School Council plays an important role in bringing together members of the school and parent community.

Its charter is to collaborate with parents and staff in the formation of policy direction for the school. The School Council does not make decisions on short term, daily management issues. Rather, it focuses on significant school-wide issues and overall policies and educational directions.

The School Council meets twice each term and elections are held in March.

Parents & Citizens Association (P&C)

All parents are welcome to be members of the P&C Association, which promotes networks of friendship and support within the school community.

It is a monthly forum for discussion of educational, social and welfare aspects of the school. The P&C also co-ordinate social functions and fundraising events, and support the organisation of official school events. This gives parents and staff members an opportunity to come together in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

P&C fundraising activities contribute significantly to the school’s annual budget and are important community building initiatives. The success of the P&C depends on volunteer parent participation and we encourage all parents to become involved.

Meetings are held on Thursday in weeks 3 and 8 of every term in the school library. Elections are held annually in November.

Class Coordinators

Class coordinators organise social functions and other official communications that involve all of the parents relevant to their child’s class.

The P&C, in conjunction with the Principal, help to oversee the class coordinators and help co-ordinate their activities.
