Cherrybrook Public School P&C Association
Cherrybrook Public School Parents & Citizens' Association is a registered voluntary group of parents/carers who work together to raise money to provide extra resources to maintain and improve facilites for our school.
Involvement with the P&C is a great way to meet other parents/carers and be a part of the school's operation and community.
The P&C manages the School Canteen, Uniform Shop, Band and Basketball Programs as well as Fundraise.
The Committee meets on the second Tuesday of each month during school terms. The monthly meetings include discussion of various school related topics and future fundraising ideas as well as reports from the Principal and P&C Executive members. All parents/carers are warmly welcomed to attend these meetings abe be involved in the decisionmaking and discussion of ideas for our school together with the School Executive.
In March each year, the Annual General Meeting is held. One of the important functions of this meeting is to elect the P&C Executive Committee, consisting of volunteer parents who are willing to take leadership positions for the P&C. The P&C Executive consists of the President, two Vice-Presidents, the Secretary, and the Treasurer. There are also other leadership positions associated with fundraising activities.
Details of the parents who currently hold these positions are listed below.
