As a parent or carer, you are an important part of our school community. We offer a range of services to support you and your family.
Parents and Citizens’ Association (P&C)
Our Parents and Citizens’ Association (P&C) is made up of parents and carers, teachers and community members. The P&C meets regularly to contribute to decision-making, developing policies and management plans as well as fundraising.
Counselling for families
The school counsellor can assist when families undergo a trauma or big change. Contact us to make an appointment. For information in community languages, see school counselling service.
Outside of the education system, free telephone counselling services are available to support families who may be going through a difficult time.
- Lifeline – 24-hour telephone counselling service. 13 11 14.
- Mensline Australia – 24-hour telephone counselling service for men. 1300 789 978.
- Parent line – an advice and information service. 1300 1300 52.
Interpreting and translations
We will help you communicate with our school. If you’d like an interpreter for a school meeting, let us know and we will arrange one, if available.
If you don’t speak or understand English well and want to contact us, call TIS National on 131 450 and ask for an interpreter in your language. The operator will call the school and get an interpreter to help. This service is free.
For more information, listen in your language.
Visit the department’s translated documents section for important information that’s relevant for your child’s education in many languages.
At Condell Park Public School we have a very active P&C. They meet two mornings per term and everyone is welcome to join. Meeting dates will be advertised in the newsletter.
Parent cafe
Parent café sessions are held every second Wednesday in the staffroom and usually run from 9:10am to 10:30am. Sessions vary from educational topics led by head teachers to inviting special guests for fun, relaxing, creative and more hands on activities.
Keep an eye out in the news feed for upcoming events and dates. Also notes are usually sent out on Wednesdays so please remember to check your childs bag. All parents and carers are welcome. Check out the photos in the Gallery section of our website under 'Parent café photos' to see all the fun.
Playgroup
Playgroup is held in the library every Thursday morning 9:15am to 10:45am for children 0-5 years old. Come and play with a group of wonderful people. Your child will meet new friends and you will have the chance to spend quality learning time with your child plus have the time to chat to other parents, carers and grandparents. Bring your own morning tea and $2 per child.
All are welcome anytime. If you require more information please contact the office on 02 9796 7998 and ask for Catherine.
