COMMUNITY

PARENT
CONSULTATIVE
COMMITTEE

Welcome. In late 2024, the Year Level Parent Representative Group was formally retitled as the Parent Consultative Committee (PCC), reflecting both the continuing importance of parent connection within year levels and the evolving role of the group within the life of the College.

The original Parent Representative model played an important role in fostering strong connections within and across year levels. This included supporting parent-led initiatives such as welcoming new families, facilitating year level events, strengthening networks within the community, and sharing information to support engagement with College life. These functions remain an important part of the PCC’s contribution to the College community.

In addition, the PCC provides a structured opportunity for members to engage more deeply with the College’s strategic direction and key priorities. The PCC also provides a forum for raising and discussing themes emerging across the parent community. Find out more by viewing the Parent Consultative Committee Terms of Reference.
