P&C

What is a P&C? Stands for Parents and Citizens Association which is an all voluntary association consisting of members who are either parents of students or someone from the local community who supports the school. The P&C Constitution, set by WACSSO, gives the Executive Committee the guidelines to manage the P&C.

Who is WACSSO? “The Western Australian Council of State School Organization’s Inc”, the peak body representing parents of public school children in Western Australia. WACSSO provides services and representation at State and National level to approximately 640 Parents and Citizens Associations (P&Cs) in Western Australia”

Makybe P&C Vision: To foster strong relationships between the school and community. Work with the school community to provide additional resources and facilities for the school. Promote interest in educational matters as the need arises. Working with staff and families to create fun experiences and make a difference in students’ lives.
