Monto High School P&C AGM
2023-02-07 17:30 - 18:30 (Australia/Brisbane) | Monto State High School, Mouatt St
Monto State High School P & C AGM
Our P&C AGM is this Tuesday 7th February. We need you!! We know that in this day and age, everyone lives a busy schedule and we acknowledge time is prescious, however without volunteers our valued committees wont run.
P&C associations work in productive partnership with their school principal and the community to promote the interests of the school, and facilitate its development and further improvement, to achieve the best possible outcomes for students.
Joining the P&C is a great way to get involved in your school community, keep up-to-date with what’s happening at the school, contribute to your child’s education and make new friends.
The P&C Association is a group of volunteers working together to improve the facilities and opportunities available at the school. We meet once a month for an hour! All positions will be declared vacant.
Looking forward to seeing you Tuesday
