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 – 24-hour 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.
The Parents & Citizens Association (P&C) would like to welcome new students and parents.
Parents are invited to participate in the activities of the Parents and Citizens Association.
The Parents & Citizens meet in the Board Room in D block on the second Tuesday of each month (with the exception of those dates which fall over the school holidays) at 7:00 p.m.
The P & C endeavour to raise funds for the school, to act as a lobby group seeking assistance from the government and to provide a forum where parents can be informed about school activities and participate in discussions relating to the support of the school.
The P&C can be contacted:
- via email: grcpeakhurstpandc@gmail.com
- through the school on 02 9153 9966.
