Parents, carers and the community

As a parent or carer, you are an important part of our school community. We offer a range of services to support you and your family.

Parents and Citizens’ Association (P&C)

Our Parents and Citizens’ Association (P&C) is made up of parents and carers, teachers and community members. The P&C meets regularly to contribute to decision-making, developing policies and management plans as well as fundraising.

Counselling for families

The school counsellor can assist when families undergo a trauma or big change. Contact us to make an appointment. For information in community languages, see school counselling service.

Outside of the education system, free telephone counselling services are available to support families who may be going through a difficult time.

  • Lifeline – 24-hour telephone counselling service. 13 11 14.
  • Mensline Australia – 24-hour telephone counselling service for men. 1300 789 978.
  • Parent line – an advice and information service. 1300 1300 52.

Interpreting and translations

We will help you communicate with our school. If you’d like an interpreter for a school meeting, let us know and we will arrange one, if available.

If you don’t speak or understand English well and want to contact us, call TIS National on 131 450 and ask for an interpreter in your language. The operator will call the school and get an interpreter to help. This service is free.

For more information, listen in your language.

Visit the department’s translated documents section for important information that’s relevant for your child’s education in many languages.

The Cundletown School P&C meets on Tuesday evening Week 3 and 8 of each term. Meetings commence at 6:30pm in the staff room.

An invitation is extended to all parents and interested citizens of the community to come along andobtain an insight into the many activities happening within the school. The Principal or nominee is always present to answer any queries and report on school activities.

  • Fund raising committee
  • Canteen committee
  • Uniform committee

These committees are activated on a needs basis. This is decided at the Annual General Meeting in term one each year. Meeting days and times for these committees will be advertised in the weekly newsletter.
