P&C workshop on Peninsula

The Central Coast Sub-regional Council of Parents' and Citizens' Associations will be running a series of workshops for parents, with part of the course to take place on the Peninsula.

Media liaison officer Ms Nina Berry said the aim of the workshops was to enable parents to make effective use of their P&C associations, and to enable them to work in constructive partnerships with their children's schools.

Participants will learn about the role of P&C associations in schools, how they run, the roles parents can play, legal obligations of P&Cs, how to run a canteen and how to formulate a uniform policy.

There also will be time for parents to have their questions answered.

The first of these workshops was expected to take place on Wednesday, June 22, at Niagara Park Public School.

The second will take place at Woy Woy Public School, in Blackwall Rd, Woy Woy, on Thursday, July 21, from 9am to noon.

A third workshop will take place later in the year in the Wyong Shire.
