Pass it on!
We strive to provide information of interest to all school parents in the Council Communicator. If you think any of our news items are of interest to parents at your school (like the workshop above), please share them via your school newsletter or whatever other means you wish.
We now have a template document (for you to customise) to make it easier to cut and paste items to submit to your school newsletter under the P&C Council banner if you wish. |
