Join the ESS P&C!

Eumundi State School (ESS) has a well-earned reputation for engaging students in meaningful learning experiences in a nurturing environment that aims to allow each child to reach their full potential. The learning outcomes in comparison to other schools demonstrate the quality of education at ESS is high and is one of the reasons why many young families have moved to the Eumundi area.

ESS P&C is made up of parents and citizens who wish to make a difference for the children. The school has no problem getting support from parents for the activities and functions required

of the parent body, however management positions are more difficult to fill, as many parents are working and/or caring for children.

If you have an interest in supporting the school community, your skills and knowledge would be a welcome addition to the growing and dynamic parent body. Guidance is available on the P&C Qld website which contains a manual of exactly what is required.

The new principal Rob Jennings assures volunteers: “Getting involved in our school community offers numerous benefits for both parents and citizens and the school. Your involvement will provide you with a unique scope of information about key aspects of education and what makes the school successful.”

The P&C’s role is to:

• Work together for the best interests of the children, promoting parent and community engagement, and supporting Eumundi school in every way possible.

• Engage with educators, administrators, and policymakers to ensure our schools are safe, inclusive, and nurturing environments for our children's growth and development.

• Provide volunteers with an opportunity to be valued and considered on matters relating to the education of children.

The opportunity awaits! Rob concluded by emphasising that, “being involved in the P&C is an exciting way to collaborate on innovative ideas, discuss important issues and create opportunities to make our school even better. While we live, we grow!” Visit: pandcqld.com.au.
