Welcome to CPPS from the P & C
Formally the P & C (Parents & Citizens Association) is constituted under the NSW Education Act. P & C groups have traditionally played a vital role in the support of public education and exist to:
- Promote the interest of the school by bringing parents, citizens, students and teaching staff into close co-operation;
- Assist in providing facilities and equipment for the school, and promoting the recreation and welfare of the students at the school;
- Encourage parent and community participation in curriculum and other educational issues in schools;
- Provide a forum in which parents can develop their partnership with the school and articulate their aspirations for their children's education.
