Meetings

The P&C meets on the second Wednesday of the Month, during school terms. Meetings are held in the Staff Common Room commencing at 7.30pm. The School Principal provides a report at each meeting on current school happenings and issues affecting the school and students.

What does the P&C do?

The P&C is involved in fundraising through the P&C Contribution and through activities such as sausage sizzles and trivia nights. However, this is only part of the P&C's role.

The P&C is a group of parents committed to assisting the school in providing a good learning environment so every student has the opportunity to do their best. This involves:

• 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 a Better Attitudes Towards Health (BATH) day and Student Leadership Programs
• School Facilities - the P&C has lobbied for improved buildings and facilities that are now being provided under the government's Building the Future initiative
• 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 runs a uniform shop weekly making it easier for parents to provide school uniforms for their daughters at the best possible price
• Guest Speakers at P&C Meetings - guest speakers will be presenting information of interest to parents at many of the 2004 P&C Meetings. Speakers will include; teachers from the Physical Education, Science and Music/Visual arts faculties and the Police School Liaison Officer from Gladesville Police Station. These talks provide opportunities to find out about subject content, how new technology is being used to further your child's educational opportunities and about issues affecting young peoples lives.

Why not come along to P&C Meetings and see what is discussed and have your say about issues affecting the school and your daughter's education!

Join the P&C and Help Riverside Girls

Volunteer bodies like the P&C need to be continually renewed with new faces, new workers and new ideas. We need some new members to carry the P&C forward through 2004, which will be an exciting year for the school as the new buildings and facilities have been completed.

If you can spare a little time to help the school and, in turn, help the students please come along to a P&C Meeting.
