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!

Join our P&C

When you enrol your child at SSC Balmain, you have the option of completing a form in the Welcome Pack which is a request to be included on the P&C mailing list. This list, which is separate from the school’s mailing list, (currently based on a locked-down Google group) is usually used only by the P&C team to send information about P&C meetings & agendas, meeting minutes, and occasionally extra notices about events or requests for assistance.

When you want to leave the list, please unsubscribe yourself by sending an email to pandcsscbalmain+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com

from the email address you want to unsubscribe.

Connect to other parents via the P&C WhatsApp

These groups are the place to be to connect with others whose child/children are in the same year or class as your own. Sometimes the groups are started by P&C team members, sometimes not. Either way, they are an inclusive, informal space to chat and to ask questions, especially about all those things that are particularly relevant to your child’s year group. Do all Year 7’s go to the sports carnival? When is 8P’s HSIE assignment due?  Where is the link to order the Year 10 jacket? There is usually someone in the group who has “been there, done that” and can help with answers to those niggling queries. The groups also offer an opportunity to organise your own social events with other parents.
