P&C

~ P&C NEWS ~

The Dampier Parents & Citizens' Association (Dampier P&C) is established under the School Education Act 1999 for the purpose of supporting a strong government school system for the benefit of the students.

The P & C meets the 4^th Tuesday of every month in the Staff Room upstairs at the School. The meeting starts at 7pm, and generally doesn’t run longer than 90 minutes.

The P& C aims to provide many benefits and services to students of Dampier Primary School. Some of these are:

Canteen Service on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays – serving healthy and nutritional food and drinks for morning recess and lunches. The canteen is staffed by a paid Canteen manager, but volunteer help is also provided by parents. There is always a need for more canteen helpers. See the Canteen Manager or a Committee Member if you think you can spare some time.
Crosswalk Attendants – the P & C arranges a volunteer roster system to provide crosswalk attendant services each morning and afternoon at the crosswalk adjacent to the School. Due to the amount of traffic in town, the government is not required to provide a paid service at this crosswalk, and as such the service relies on volunteers from the school. Again if you can spare a morning or an afternoon to help out on this roster, please see a Committee Member. Full training will be provided by the local Police.
Uniform Shop – each Wednesday morning the Uniform Shop operates from a small room at the back of the Kindy Building. This shop is managed by a volunteer, and is open from approximately 8am – 8.30am each Wednesday. Uniforms are priced very reasonably, and generally there is adequate stock available. The Uniform Shop Coordinator also coordinates the provision of booklists at the end of each year
Student Insurance – the P & C subsidises a student insurance policy that parents can opt to participate in when paying their school fees at the beginning of each year. The insurance policy covers out of pocket medical expenses for any accident a child may have, whether on or off school grounds.
Fundraising – One of the primary aims of the P & C is to raise money for projects throughout the school for which the school budget could not absorb. For example , past projects which have been funded are:

The computer room, with 23 leased computers (total funding $33000)
Play equipment and shade structures around the school
Sports equipment
Library books and equipment
Annual donations for classroom extras, end of year prizes and sports carnival prizes

We are always looking for new members and interested parents, so please feel free to come along to our next meeting on ( to be advised, as it's due to fall in school holidays)
