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.

Beauty Point Parents and Citizens Association (P&C)

Beauty Point Public School has a very active and involved community, encompassing parents, grandparents, carers and the local community.  We provide many and varied opportunities for our community to be involved with the school via the P&C.

Ways to get involved:

Parents, carers and relatives are encouraged to participate in the daily happenings of Beauty Point Public School.  There are a variety of ways to do this – and if you can contribute in other ways, we would love to hear from you!

• Joining the P&C for voting rights at P&C meetings regarding allocation of funds and decisions impacting our school

• Attending P&C meetings

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

• Volunteering as Class Parent to act as liaison between your child’s class teacher and other parents

• Assisting in the classroom with reading, computers, art or other specialist ways (this can be a regular commitment or ad hoc)

• Accompanying classes on excursions

• Environmental Committee

• Joining other committees and working groups to work on specialist projects

• Volunteering for distribution of lunch orders in the canteen (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday)

• Second hand uniform shop

Fundraising

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)

The 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! This year BPPS is going Hollywood!

In addition, other events that are less focused 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, Cupcake and Doughnut days
• Movie events

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
