Joining the P&C is a great way to get involved in your school community, keep up-to-date with what’s happening at the school, contribute to your child’s education and make new friends.
The YSS P&C is a group of volunteers working together to improve the facilities and opportunities available at our school. By participating in the P&C, you are supporting the school community. In return, you may be supported by the school community to learn new skills and take on new responsibilities. Participating in the P&C gives you an opportunity to share in the school’s decision-making processes and shape the school’s future. Your contribution to the P&C can be as large or small as you can manage.
