Welcome to the home page of the Manly Parents and Citizens Association - and especially to new parents. You will find P & C meetings are a great way to meet other parents, staff and find out what is happening at the school.

Our meetings are held on the third Wednesday of the month in term time. Latest news

Our next meeting on 19th November at 7.30 pm in the Staffroom. The staffroom is up the stairs past the main office.

The aim of our P & C is to enable and encourage communication between parents and the school and to create a strong feeling of school community through:

  • clear explanation and discussion of issues related to the school
  • helping parents get to know staff and each other
  • supporting the school executive and teaching staff
  • explaining the curriculum
  • encouraging parents to volunteer their time and expertise
  • supporting extra-curricular activities including the excellence fund

To join the P & C costs just $1 per year, usually payable with the school contribution.

Do you get it? If not, you are seriously missing out. Our Principal David Tomlin and his staff and the students put a huge effort into keeping us informed,interested and entertained. The Pines is emailed out every Friday. The August 1st edition had two fascinating and well written articles by Articles/photos from Sian Liddy and Joshua Fielding about their trip as Warringah Ambassadors to Brewarrina, an 80% indigenous community, 800 kms and 10 hours from Sydney. Read it here and register to receive the Pines by email.
