Parents and carers

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. 

Our P&C committee is a dedicated group of parents and community members who collaborate to support school in various aspects such as:

  1. Fundraising: Organising events and activities to raise funds for school resources, infrastructure, and programs.
  2. Community Engagement: Fostering a sense of community by involving parents and citizens in school activities and decision-making processes.
  3. Advocacy: Representing the interests and concerns of the school community to the school executives and administrations.
  4. Support: Providing practical support for school initiatives and events, such as volunteer work or assisting in the organisation of school functions.

How to join our P&C Association

Our P&C Forum are held in Weeks 4 and 8 of each term. Please contact the school to join our P&C Association. Bass High School encourages all parents and caregivers to attend our P&C meetings. Your participation helps strengthen our community and enhances the educational experience for all our students. 

The Bass High School parents and citizens' association (P&C) meet at school every month. We will keep you updated with dates and times via website, Facebook and the school app (School Stream).

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.
