The P&C aims to develop a strong school community and partnership between the staff, the students and the parents so that St Ives High School (SIHS) can continue to provide a quality education that turns out well-rounded students.
This is truly an outstanding school in so many ways and that takes great students, terrific staff and parents, families and friends that are closely involved in any number of ways. We really do appreciate the funds and time volunteered by parents to support the school and welcome new families.
What we do
SIHS P&C promotes student welfare and provides many extra-curricular opportunities for students as well as facilities and equipment for the school.
The P&C receives regular updates and reports from the Principal and provides feedback from our parent body on school-related issues. The P&C works hard to try to ensure that parental views are represented. A recent example of this is the 2020 anonymous on-line parent surveys from Years 7 and 12 parents run by P&C volunteers to gather feedback from parents regarding specific areas of school life at SIHS. The data from these surveys is actively being used as part of the school planning process.
We help the school in 3 ways:
- We propose ways in which areas of school activity can be improved, or new activities introduced. Some of these ideas arise at P&C meetings, others are identified within the responses to joint P&C and school surveys.
- We volunteer to help (eg, in the uniform shop, on the grounds, at events). "Just One Thing" has also enabled us to identify highly-valued expertise within the school parent body.
- We help financially through our voluntary contributions and other income (ie. uniform shop). The money we raise enables us to support areas of activity and services which would otherwise not exist, to the benefit of every single student.
