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.
The Murrumbateman Public School P&C Association invites our school community to be connected, get involved & make a difference to our school.
The MPS P&C is a not-for-profit organisation which was established to promote the interests of the school by bringing parents, citizens, students and teaching staff together. The MPS P&C aims to assist in providing facilities and equipment for the school and to promote the recreation and welfare of the students at the school.
The MPS P&C supports a range of activities throughout the school year including Mother's and Father's day stalls, a student disco, family BBQs and a community colour run!
Formal P&C meetings are held once per term. If you're interested in getting involved please visit the P&C's Facebook page or sign up to become a member.

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.
