Welcome
At Salisbury State School, the P&C are a group of parents, staff and community members who are committed to working with the school to promote the interests of the students, provide feedback on school policies and help fund improvements to achieve the best possible outcomes for every child.
We are a voice, advocating for the students, and supporting the school's strategic decision making. We stand in the gap between what resources the school needs and what funding the Education Department has, by working together as a team to fundraise to enrich the lives of the students at Salisbury State School.
The P&C run the Tuckshop, Uniform Shop, Salisbury Scorpions Swim Club, Tennis Courts and work alongside community groups such as Salisbury Community Gardens.
Together with the school, we host events that serve our community including back to school welcome BBQs, the school disco, community fetes, bush dance, trivia nights, election BBQ's and Under 8's Day.
On weekends, we run working bees, paint murals and other activities to fundraise and support the school for the students. We use any funds raised from these activities and grant funding to provide extras for our school. In recent years, these extras were musical instruments and art supplies, playground upgrades, AED devices for the school, a new pool awning, new bike racks and the online ordering system Qkr!.
Do you have an idea? We would love to hear it and have your support. It's a great way to be a part of the school community, contribute to your child's education and be a part of something bigger.
We meet the third Monday of every month from February to November in the school library. You can contact us by emailing our Secretary at secretarypandcsalisbury@gmail.com
Volunteers
We need you!
We encourage all parents and carers to participate where they can. We need members – committed people who come along to voice their thoughts, contribute to discussion, turn sausages on the BBQ, hang up decorations at the disco or even drop off a box of drinks for a working bee. We need people who can coordinate events, help fundraise, and connect people together to make things happen. There are jobs with titles and there are jobs that are just as valuable, but out of the spotlight. We are a vibrant community and value your input. It brings us great joy seeing people from our Salisbury State School Community come together to achieve great things! In 2024, we won two awards for our efforts in the P&C's Queensland Awards in two categories.
Eco Sustainability Winners (prize of $2000 thanks to Containers for Change QLD)
