P & C Meetings
- Provide a forum for people from the school and local community to have an input into decisions regarding their school
- Provide important information as to the running of the school, the education of our children and the ways in which we can help to continue to make UPS a great place to learn, play and work.
- Meetings are held on a Monday once each school term in the staff room.
- Meetings begin at 7pm and we try to keep them as short as possible.
- The Principal/Assistant Principal is at each meeting and presents a short report.
- To add an item to the agenda of the next P & C meeting, contact the P & C President.
