As a parent or carer, you are an important part of our school community. We offer a range of services to support you and your family.
Parents and Citizens’ Association (P&C)
Our Parents and Citizens’ Association (P&C) is made up of parents and carers, teachers and community members. The P&C meets regularly to contribute to decision-making, developing policies and management plans as well as fundraising.
At Porters Creek PS, our P&C is a passionate group of parents and community members working together to support our students and school. It’s a great way to stay in the loop, share ideas, and be part of positive change—all while having some fun along the way!
Meetings are relaxed, informative, and wrapped up in a timely manner (we know life is busy!). They’re held at 6:00 PM on Week 4 and Week 8 of each term, giving you a chance to hear about school initiatives and have your say.
We’d love to see more families get involved—whether you want to contribute ideas, volunteer, or just stay informed, there’s a place for you!
✨ Keep in touch! Stay up to date with what’s happening by joining our Facebook page—it’s the easiest way to stay connected with school events and P&C news.
P&C Executive Team:
⭐ President: Rachel
⭐ Vice Presidents: Mitch & Bianca
⭐ Secretary: Brea
⭐ Treasurer: Rhiannon
Come along, meet some friendly faces, and be part of something great!

We will help you communicate with our school. If you’d like an interpreter for a school meeting, let us know and we will arrange one, if available.
If you don’t speak or understand English well and want to contact us, call TIS National on 131 450 and ask for an interpreter in your language. The operator will call the school and get an interpreter to help. This service is free.
For more information, listen in your language.
