P&C

WebPartZone1_1
PublishingPageContent

Hambledon State School has an active and successful Parents and Citizens Association (P&C). The P&C is essentially a forum focused on the school community providing both financial and non-financial support. Working closely with the principal, staff and wider school community the P&C assists in making improvements at Hambledon through policy, infrastructure, resources and student experiences.

Main Functions of the P&C

Tuckshop and Uniform Shop

The P&C is the operational body of the Tuckshop and Uniform Shop. Managed by our Tuckshop convenor Alana Donnelly, ‘The Snack Shack’ services the students and staff with a quality menu of reasonably priced food and drink and also provides a quality uniform service for families.

Discos and Stalls

The P&C provides social functions for students with the Discos held in Term 2 and Term 4. We organise a market stall for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, allowing students the opportunity to purchase a gift for their loved ones. These events have a fundraising component; however they also allow the students to participate in social functions and unique experiences which foster their learning and community spirit.

Fundraising

Throughout the year we aim to undertake fundraising campaigns such as our Krispy Kreme drive and Easter Raffle. If you have any ideas to raise funds we would love to hear from you!

Working Bees on Gardens

Held throughout the year, Working Bees involve families coming together to enhance the school environment. Children spend time with other students and families at school, outside the structured school environment. Working Bees not only foster community spirit, assist to improve the appearance of our school gardens but also help to reduce associated costs, allowing funds to be redirected to other needed areas of the school operations.

School Policy

Often the P&C discuss a current or introduced school policy or procedure. These discussions in the General Meetings help achieve the outcome most suitable for the school community.
