Wilkins Public School P&C

The Wilkins Public School P&C is an engaged, approachable and friendly group of parents, carers and teachers who work to enhance our children's educational experience by facilitating a good working relationship between parents and the school. We support WPS so that the teachers can deliver the best educational programmes and enhance the curriculum where we are able. The P&C puts time and effort into raising funds for the school which can be spent on resources that may not otherwise be available.

Our major fund-raising and events include:

• Fair Day (even years)

• Parents' Night Out (odd years)

• Family  Movie Night (in celebration of Mothers' Day, Fathers' Day and International Family Day)

• Community BBQs

• Welcome Events for Kindergarten and Stage 3

• Walk-a-thon

• Assisting the Wilkins Green

• Staffing and coordinating the on-site Uniform Shop

The P&C is also an invaluable resource for parents providing opportunities to understand the school's needs and priorities, to work with and get to know the teachers and staff, and to share our school experiences as parents and carers. We are always looking for ways in which parents and carers can contribute to the school using their existing skills and expertise.

We welcome new parents and carers at any time of the year. We truly feel that everyone in the WPS community has something to contribute. Annual membership (each calendar year) is $2 and paying for membership ensures that you may vote within the meeting.
