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.
Parents and Community at IPS
Membership fees for the P & C are a nominal $1.00 per person/member and this entitles you to voting rights at meetings and insurance cover at times when you are doing voluntary work with the P & C. Meetings are held each month and will be advertised in the school newsletter.
