Pullenvale State School P&C

Become a Member

All members of our school community are welcome and encouraged to join and become involved in the activities of the P&C in some way – come along, it’s a great way to meet other parents!

Joining the P&C is voluntary and each year the members elect an Executive Committee at our Annual General Meeting (AGM).  You don’t need to be an expert in education or parenting to join us.  You just need to be prepared to share your perspective on topics as they arise and have a disposition to learn together as a group.  Being willing and able to get involved with the planning and running events is a bonus, but not a requirement for membership.

Membership applications can now be made online – you no longer need to attend a meeting to submit your application.  Please visit the P&C website for the link to our current membership form (membership needs to be renewed each year).

Why attend our meetings?

  • It’s a forum for discussion about the school and its general operation and to provide appropriate feedback and assistance to the Principal and leadership team.
  • Contribute to the decision-making of what resources to provide to the school which are not supplied by Education Queensland.
  • It’s an opportunity for the discussion and sharing of ideas and through the organisation and instigation of fundraising and social events during the year.
  • Keep up to date on the communication of matters dealt with by the P&C and sub-committees.
  • As an opportunity to listen to and discuss matters raised by the principal in the meeting report.
  • To be involved in the discussions as a group to determine changing directions of the school according to need and to assist with a healthy community involvement in the school.

Volunteering

Volunteers are an extremely important part of Pullenvale State School and help support our classrooms, resource center, tuck-shop and the P & C. 

If you are interested in volunteering with us, we ask that you complete the online form – Just one thing. The form asks about what kinds of activities you would be able to assist with and will take just a couple of minutes to complete. Your participation – no matter how big or small – makes a big difference. 

All volunteers are required to review the Education Departments Mandatory All-Staff training (MAST) program and submit the declaration to the school.  Mandatory All-Staff training program including the Student Protection Fact Sheet for contractors, volunteers and visitors to state schools document.

  • Complete and return the Declaration for the Mandatory All-Staff training program

Community members who would like to help at the school, require a Working With Children Blue Card.   If you are volunteering at the school there is no cost to apply for a Blue Card.  For further information, please go to Queensland Government Blue Card Services.  https://www.bluecard.qld.gov.au/

Parent Rep Program

A school where parents and teachers work together offers many advantages to its students.  At Pullenvale State School, the Parent Representative (Parent Rep) Program provides a personal approach to building an inclusive and engaged school community.  The school has a designated Parent Rep Coordinator and each class has a Parent Representative.  

The role of the Parent Rep is to strengthen the parent–school partnership, create a welcoming class atmosphere for new families, provide face-to-face support for parents and promote parent involvement within our school.  Here at Pullenvale State School, we believe that the best way to improve our children’s educational environment and experiences is to encourage parents to work together with other parents, teachers and community members. 

If you would like further information on the Parent Rep Program or how you can be involved as a parent at Pullenvale State School, please email repcoordinator@pullenvalepandc.org.au and repcoordinator1@pullenvalepandc.org.au
