Our aim
The P&C is committed to assisting
the college to meet the needs, expectations and challenges of the college
community and to ensuring that our children benefit from the college’s unique
rich natural and cultural heritage.
Membership
We encourage all members of the KDSC
community to join the P&C. A strong active P&C is able to more
effectively support our students’ education experiences and helps to build
closer links between the college and the local community. Membership is free.
Keep
informed
P&C meetings are usually held on
Mondays at 4:30pm of weeks 2 and 8 in the Senior school common room. Minutes
from P&C meetings can be requested from the secretary at the P&C email
address.
Ensure you are kept up-to-date by following
the P&C Facebook page or by emailing the P&C at the address below to
join the mailing list.
Uniforms
The P&C manages the ordering and
sale of uniforms through the uniform shop on the junior campus. P&C
volunteers open the shop once per week on Friday mornings from 8:30am until
9am. Outside these hours, order forms can be completed and left at
either college office. Orders will be completed on Friday mornings and left at
the office for collection. There is not currently any EFTPOS facilities and
payment can be made by cash, direct deposit or Centrepay deduction.
School Lockers
If your child/children are in Yr 7 - Yr12, we are now offering lockers for rental. Please see the link below for the locker agreement which outlines the rules and expectations for the students, as well as the cost ($50 rental fee). All money raised will be used by the P&C for different school initiatives as usual. A locker is not compulsory, but we have found that the higher the year level, the more books and textbooks they carry around throughout the day, and having a place to offload them is a good thing!
Please contact us if you have any questions. We will also have hard copies of these forms at the Uniform Shop and the TuckShop. And please remember, these are a P&C initiative, so the office will NOT be receiving payments for these, please contact us direct
