Welcome to our P&C!
In Queensland state schools, there is a parent body called the Parents and Citizens Association.
Commonly called 'the P&C', this association is a group of parents, carers and members of the community who work together to make a difference to the school and local area. Sometimes called 'PTA' or 'P&F' in other school systems, a Queensland P&C does not have a governance role or involvement in day-to-day matters, but does provide important advice to the Principal, who in turns consults the P&C for advice on many matters.
At Tannum Sands State High School, our P&C facilitates the development and further improvement of Tannum Sands State High School e.g. policies, facilities and special programs. The P&C also promotes parent participation and encourages close cooperation between parents, students and staff.
Our P&C offers support to the Principal, staff and student body, and gives advice on a wide range of school issues and operations. At our monthly meetings, the Principal presents an insightful Principal’s Report. You can see examples elsewhere on this P&C webpage.
At Tannum Sands State High School, the P&C also runs a uniform shop and canteen (staffed by both volunteers and paid employees of the P&C). QKR- an app to download, pay and preorder your lunches! Canteen Menu (PDF 200KB). Proceeds from this and our voluntary parent levy means we can purchase many wish-list items the school couldn't ordinarily afford. P&C fundraiser levy (PDF 130KB) is also paid through our QKR app.
Our P&C Association is also a member of the peak body, P&Cs Qld. Becoming involved in our P&C will not only help advance the above, it will also provide each member the opportunity to develop a range of personal skills.
We aim to have as many people as possible involved in the P&C, as all help and support goes a long way towards creating the futures of all students at Tannum Sands State High School.
All parents are invited to become members of the P&C and all time and input, no matter how big or small, is greatly appreciated.
Our P&C meets on the second Thursday of the month, at 6.30pm in our Resource Centre. Please come! Our email address is pandc@tannumsandsshs.eq.edu.au
