Community involvement

Our school values strong partnerships with our families and community. Parents and carers can get involved through our Parents and Citizens Association (P&C) or by volunteering at our school. Your time and support help make our school a better place for everyone.

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.

P&C membership

Please come along and keep up to date with what's happening at the school. If you are unable to attend meetings, membership means that you can still receive all correspondence.

To become a member, come along to a meeting, or email the P&C at (bungendore.HSPC@gmail.com) to get a form sent to you.

Membership can be paid:

• In person at the AGM or any subsequent P&C meeting by cash or card, or
• By emailing the completed signed membership to bungendore.HSPC@gmail.com and paying via direct deposit as per the details in the membership form.

P&C meetings

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Association is in Week 4 of Term 1 of each year.

General meetings are held in weeks 4 and 9 of each term.  Unless otherwise advised, the meetings will take place at the Bungendore High School.

P&C student injury insurance

To serve our school community, Bungendore High School P&C has taken out a Student Injury Insurance Policy for all of our students.

We all know accidents can happen, and when they happen during school or at school events, even for ones after hours, there is rarely any support available to help families deal with the financial impacts of our children being hurt.

Our student injury policy pays benefits to cover non-Medicare medical expenses, both with dealing with injury, and helping if their kids miss school while injured, and with recovery. We hope it never happens, but know that your child is insured if things like broken teeth, bones or other serious injuries occur at school events, then help is available.

For the Insurance Policy Summary to find out what’s covered or for a Claim Form, please contact the school.

Volunteer at our school

Helping out at school is a great way to get involved in your school community.

Volunteer opportunities include:

• helping in the canteen
• getting involved in the P&C
• listening to children read in the classroom
• volunteering on sports days and other school events
