Community involvement

Our school values strong partnerships with our families and community. Parents and carers can get involved through our Parents and Citizens Association (P&C) or by volunteering at our school. Your time and support help make our school a better place for everyone.

Parents and Citizens Association (P&C)

Our P&C is a group of parents, carers and school community members. They assist with school planning, fundraising, events and volunteering. Our P&C works in partnership with our school to promote the interests of our school community.

Since 1891, when Maroota School began as Olive Mount School, we have been fortunate to have a very involved P&C. For well over 100 years many local residents have formed the foundations for the beautiful school we have today. The role of the parent body has continuously remained vital to the school's character and success. The P&C also raises funds that help finance improvements to our school and provide additional resources.

Our P&C association meets on the second Wednesday of each month at 2pm. The P&C association coordinates fundraising, runs the tuckshop and the Maroota Muster.

During that time we have raised funds to build the oval, tennis court, acquire the library, landscaping, air conditioning, computers, computer programs, books for classrooms and the library, outdoor play equipment, shade covering, photocopier and a school reading scheme to name a few.

We always welcome new members and value everyone's input. The P&C is a chance for you to voice your opinion and to be involved and informed of curricula and programs within the school.

Our annual general meeting is held at the first P&C meeting in the new year, and we invite everyone to come and be involved in the selection of the new office bearers or to take on a role.

This tradition of caring and involvement started so long ago, continues today, making it a unique and valuable learning experience for our children.

To contact the Maroota Public School P&C, please email marootapc@gmail.com.

Joining the P&C a great way to meet other families, get involved and contribute to our school's future. We would love to have you on board!
