Welcome from the Campbell High School P&C

The main role of the Campbell High School P&C is to promote parent participation in the school and to provide strong positive community support by encouraging parents to be involved in various ways. At CHS the P&C performs the following roles:

• operates the Canteen which provides significant funds to enhance school facilities
• provides a focal point for parent/school discussion and feedback
• organises social events to build the school community.

Not only does the CHS canteen provide recess and lunch for students, any surplus funds are channeled back to the school in the form of P&C grants. Every year each faculty may apply for a P&C grant to fund equipment or support for a program. Some examples of recent beneficiaries are:
