P&C

Beauty Point Public School Parents & Citizens Association (P&C)

  • Volunteering on P&C committees including event coordination and Beauty Point Band

The P&C meets in the staffroom/library at 6.00pm. An agenda for this meeting is distributed at least 24 hours prior to the meeting.

Meetings often involve a robust discussion around issues and opportunities for the school, as well as updates from the Principal and sub-committees. 

The P&C’s main function at Beauty Point Public School is to raise funds to donate to the school for the benefit of our children and staff of the school.

The main fundraising events held each year are

  • School Carnival (usually May)
  • Major Fundraising Dinner (usually August)

Major Fundraiser is organised each year by parents in Year 2 and raises the bulk of all funds for the P&C.  Each year the event has a theme – 2024 was 'BP-chella'  and it involves a dinner, auction, dancing and a LOT of fun!

In addition, other events that are less focussed on fundraising and more about the school community are

  • Grandparents Day Morning Tea
  • Mother’s Day stall
  • Father’s Day activities
  • Camp Wolstoncroft Father / Child camp (years 3-6)
  • School Disco
  • Pizza fays
  • Cupcake and Doughnut days
  • Movie events
  • School disco

What the funds are used for:

Historically the P&C will fund specific requests from the school to ensure we are up to date with other schools both public and private in our area.  Each year the P&C commits to funding any additional Learning and Support Resources not provided by the Department of Education.  In addition, in recent years we have funded;

  • New interactive SmartBoards for every classroom in the school
  • Upgraded playground equipment
  •  Air conditioning for all classrooms
  • iPads (and previously laptops)
  • Curriculum resources including home readers, STEM, and robotics
