P&C Purpose
Our P&C is run by volunteer parents and carers, who are just like you. We work, do the laundry, shuttle the kids around to here, there and everywhere but choose to dedicate our “spare time” to helping the school. Our purpose is to support the recreation and welfare of the students at the school through:
- raising funds to support additional school facilities & equipment
- helping support positive communication within the school
- enhancing the social and community spirit within the school
As our P&C constitution outlines if you have any matters for discussion about the school in terms of management, maintenance, curriculum, staffing, or have any concerns for your or any child at the school, please discuss this directly with our principal, Jeanette Cope.
If you have any concerns or questions regarding the surrounding community, i.e. roads and crossings, please contact the local Council.
Future P&C Meetings
Our P&C meetings are held each term for parents, carers, staff and citizens of the Castle Cove Public School Community to promote a co-operative spirit. We meet to discuss social and fundraising events and projects we can contribute to enhance our school. Our principal, Jeanette Cope, and some of the CCPS staff may share information about the school. P&C Reports are posted on the website before meetings so everyone can read these in advance.
Meetings are usually on the second Tuesday of the first month during term time at 7pm.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does P&C raise?
The P&C aims to raise a minimum of $150,000 through P&C fees and various fundraising activities throughout the year. Approximately $100,000 is raised through the voluntary P&C fees. A levy of $295 per child is included on the term account.
Why am I being asked to contribute to P&C Fees?
In 2020 the P&C will continue to help the school to go ‘beyond the basics’ and provide more for our children by contributing:
- $90,000 for special project 1.5 special teachers
- $45,000 into technology –we maintain a fleet of stem resources, computers, iPads and interactive whiteboards in every classroom
- $25,000 to allow teachers to purchase high quality learning materials
- Funds are also allocated to well-being seminars and initiatives and outdoor environment projects
- Any surplus funds go into supporting smaller special projects at CCPS
How is it decided where the money goes?
Each year a survey is emailed to all parents and teachers. The survey gives every parent and teacher an opportunity to give feedback on how the funds are spent, develop a wish-list for the next year and have a say in the fundraising methods.
The survey results are presented and discussed at a P&C meeting. Following the meeting the P&C Executive develop the budget for the next year and discuss with the Principal, Mrs Jeanette Cope. The draft budget is posted on the P&C website, discussed and voted on at the next P&C meeting.
This process ensures that the money raised is channelled to where it is most needed and in line with community wishes.
How has it helped to school in the past?
The P&C also pays for enhancements to the school’s assets and facilities, including classroom computers and iPads, developing and enhancing the school grounds and ensuring that every class room has an air conditioner. The P&C also periodically funds major building works, such as the building of the COLAs, the school hall, the school library and more recently the Shell Building.
