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:

Library - substantial refurbishment, Kobo readers, technology support

The CHS P&C annual trivia night in August is a good opportunity to get to know other parents, win fabulous prizes and have a great time. The P&C also caters for the Meet the Teachers evening in term 1 and the CHS Open Night in term 2.

The P&C meets on the Monday of week 4 and week 8 in Terms 1, 2 and 3 and on the Monday of week 3 and week 7 in Term 4. Meetings commence at 7:00pm in the conference room (enter through front office) and they are open to all parents and carers affiliated with the school. Meetings consist of reports from each of the sub committees, a report from the school principal on significant happenings in the school and other general conversation about any other Campbell High School issues. It provides an opportunity for parents to raise issues and ask questions.

If you would like to be included in the P&C email distribution list please forward your details to me at campbellhspandc@gmail.com or 0432 148 373.
