Broadbeach State School is fortunate to be supported by an active Parents and Citizens Association (P&C). We welcome all members of our school community to support our students, and our school, with us through engagement in our P&C community and fundraising initiatives throughout the year. Follow us on our P & C Facebook page to keep up to date with all of our P&C activities throughout the year.

How you can support our school and P&C:
Your P&C loves hosting fun activities for our school community, and providing financial assistance to various school departments and initiatives. However, what we can offer each year is directly related to the number of families that can volunteer to do "Just one thing". Without ongoing support and commitment from families, like yours, what can be offered each year is limited.
Volunteer:
Together we can make a difference, so we encourage you to register your expression of interest for 2023 via our sign up register. As opportunities arise during the year someone from the P & C will be in touch. You do not need to be a member of the P & C to support and participate.
Attend meetings:
This is your opportunity to receive updates from the P&C Executive Team and the school Principal, participate in discussions about our school, and where P&C committee members can vote on decisions.
Our meetings are advertised in the school newsletter and our P & C Facebook page. Everyone is welcome to attend. Please feel free to view the minutes from our meetings, which can be found via the links on the right hand side of this webpage. To read other P&C documentation please refer to the P & C Qld External link.
