Welcome to OGPS P&C!
The OGPS P&C Association is made up of dedicated parents, carers and teachers and is open to everyone in the school community. It exists to bring parents, citizens, students and staff together to promote the interests of the school, to raise funds for facilities and equipment and to promote the welfare of students.
P&C updates are included in the school newsletter each fortnight which is available on this website, and can also be found on the OGPS P&C Facebook.
For all enquiries, the P&C can be contacted at orangegrovepc@gmail.com.
Our focus
Fundraising
Each year the P&C runs a number of fundraisers for the school. We have ambitious targets and need the support of the whole community to run events and raise money that the school can use to support our children.
See the OGPS P&C Facebook for the latest flyers and details of upcoming events.
Sponsorship
OGPS P&C welcomes sponsors. For details on how to sponsor us, and for details of the school's Sponsorship Policy, please write to the Vice President - Fundraising at orangegrovepc@gmail.com
Executive Committee
The P&C elects an Executive Committee who coordinate the events and operations of the P&C throughout the year.

Meetings
OGPS P&C meetings are held twice a term, at 7pm in the school library. Dates are published in the school newsletter.
Everyone in the school community is welcome to join the P&C and attend meetings. There is a nominal joining fee. Once paid, members are able to vote at the following meeting and throughout the year. Please contact us for details on how to join.
Annual General Meeting
Each year in March, the OGPS P&C holds its Annual General Meeting (AGM), in line with the P&C Constitution and By-laws (available through the Secretary). At the AGM, members of the P&C vote in office bearers to run the P&C for the year ahead. The P&C audited accounts are presented and the P&C membership fee is also decided.
The AGM takes around 30 minutes and is followed by a general meeting of the P&C.
