Parents & Citizens Association

Lets CARE for our kids and school, while we SHARE the work and responsibility
The Parents &Citizens Association (P&C) is run independently from the school. Membership is open to all family members, from parents and carers to grandparents, uncles and aunts, teachers and interested community members.
The Beckenham Primary School P&C aims to:
- Support the school
- Promote parent participation
- Encourage strong community support
We achieve our aims by:
- Providing a platform to bring parents, citizens, students and teaching staff together
- Giving parents an opportunity to be informed of all school activities>
- Providing a forum for parents to discuss and debate school issues
- Organising events and activities to promote a sense of school community
- Contributing to the school’s resources through various fundraising events and activities
- Involving parents in discussing how the money raised is spent
All members of the P&C are volunteers and contribute by:
- Running school banking
- Helping at school events and activities
- Fundraising events and activities such as;
- Pizza lunches
- The Mother’s and Father’s Day and Christmas stalls
- Raffles
The P&C meets twice a term and also produces a regular newsletter to keep you informed.
Anyone can join the P&C and we welcome any community member who would like to help in any way. You may only have a spare hour or two, you may not be able to help regularly. That’s OK, simply come along when you can.
