• Feedback - talking to the Principal and teachers about any issues that are a concern for students.
• Transport - lobbying for better bus services so that students can get to school and get home without difficulty.
• Student Welfare - for example, the P&C contributes to the funding of Better Attitudes Towards Health Day (BATH day) and Student Leadership Programs.
  
  School Facilities:
• School Grounds - the P&C runs working bees every term to improve the school grounds and provide a pleasant environment.
• Uniform Shop - the P&C assists the school in running the Uniform Shop making it easier for parents to provide school uniforms for their daughters at the best possible price.
