‘The P&C is part of the school and is made up of parents and citizens who support many projects around the school. We provide a voice for our community and conduct many social events for families to enjoy their experience at Arbor Grove Primary School.’
This year saw the Arbor Grove primary students participate in some fun filled activities run by the P&C. The students have been able to attend Discos and were able to participate in the very first Colour Run. A great time was had by those who participated by either running or by throwing the colour dust (messy fun).

- Running the school canteen.
- Attended the 2019 Kindy Orientation and the WACCSO conference.
- P&C Meeting held twice a term.

Book Club
Thank you to everyone that purchased books this year. In doing so we have earned $1736.50 in rewards. Reward points are for the library to spend on Books with Scholastic.
Just a reminder that we are patiently waiting on our delivery of Issue 8. As soon as it arrives, and orders have been distributed (gift order will be available from the front office) we will send out notification.
School Banking
Thank you to everyone that has taken part in school banking this year.
Please remember to collect all banking wallets from the class banking bags before the end of the year.
Canteen
Thank you to all the parents and students who supported the P&C Canteen during 2019 by purchasing lunches and recess. A special thank you to all the volunteers who give their time and energy so willingly to prepare and serve food, as without their service we would be not be able to offer the choice and range of food at such affordable prices as we currently do.
For families whose children are leaving for high school or other schools, there is information below about Flexischools.
The Canteen will open for the New Year on Monday 3 February 2020 (the first day of term). Please be aware that there may be some changes to the days the Canteen will be open and the menu. We will endeavour to keep you all updated on our Facebook pages throughout the holidays.
If you would like to volunteer in 2020 please have a chat with Jenni before the end of this school year or drop her an email or message on our Facebook pages. We can’t run this great service without volunteers. So if you have a spare hour come and give us a hand.
The Canteen Staff would like to wish you all a wonderful and safe summer holidays.
Jenni
Thank you
Overall we have had a fantastic year. Thank you to everyone that helped organise, bake, sponsor, volunteer time and just came out and brought something. Without you all we couldn’t have reached such amazing goals. Every little bit helps make a big difference.
We look forward to continuing our involvement with this great school of ours next year. We have had an awesome team of parents on the P&C for 2019 and are hoping to see some new faces contributing and joining in on some of the work we do for and around our school.
The Arbor Grove P&C is run on volunteers and the more people we have helping the less work there is for everyone.
A big thank you to the companies who have supported the P&C throughout the year.
Kennards Hire Wangara for the use of fencing and lighting towers for both Discos, bollards for the Rainbow Run, a huge generator and gazebos for Sports Carnival cake stall and the commercial fridge for Election day BBQ.
