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.

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!

Why get involved?

  • Help organise fun school events
  • Share your ideas to improve our school
  • Support fundraising for resources and activities
  • Have a voice in school decisions.

What do we do?

Over the last few years, our P&C has provided Rutherford Public School with:

  • $60,000 towards Sound Field Systems for classrooms, delivering crystal-clear sound to entire classrooms, making listening, focusing and learning easier.
  • $28,000 for additional outside seating

Our current goal

Our current fundraising goal is raising $80,000 for an additional COLA.

Join our P&C- Anyone can help, no experience is needed!

Whether you can help every month or once a year, your time and energy make a difference. Everyone is welcome to volunteer - parents, grandparents, carers and community members!

Membership is only $2. Being a P&C member is a great way to learn what's happening at our school and have your say!
