UP Coming AGM - Tuesday 24 March
All P&C Executive positions and Working Group roles will be declared vacant at the upcoming Annual General Meeting on Tuesday, 24 March. Elections will be held on the night to appoint volunteers for each role.
Volunteering for these positions is crucial to the ongoing operation of the P&C and the support we provide to Wishart State School. Without a full Executive team, the P&C cannot function—impacting our ability to fund important projects, run events, and operate essential services such as the Tuckshop, Uniform Shop, and WOSHC.
Being part of the P&C Executive is also personally rewarding. It offers a chance to build strong connections within the school community, develop new skills, contribute your strengths, and see the positive impact of your efforts on students, staff, and families. Many volunteers find it deeply fulfilling to know they are making a meaningful difference.
Below are the descriptions of the four Executive roles.
