Caningeraba P&C AGM – What Does Getting Involved Look Like?
With the P&C Annual General Meeting approaching on Monday, the 9th of March, we wanted to share a little more about what involvement in the P&C can look like.
Each year at the AGM, all Executive roles become vacant. This is a standard and important part of the process that allows for new voices, fresh ideas, and continued transparency in how the P&C operates.
Many parents and carers are curious about what these roles actually involve.
The P&C Executive team includes:
- President – leads the P&C, represents the association, encourages connection between parents, the P&C and the school and chairs meetings. This role helps guide the vision and activities of the P&C and support team collaboration.

Depending on the P&C's needs, Vice-President's duties may be tailored to areas like fundraising or communications.

- Secretary – Keeps the P&C organised — preparing agendas, recording minutes, managing correspondence and maintaining records. This role is key to smooth meeting operations and clear communications.

- Treasurer – Manages the P&C's finances, ensuring funds are tracked accurately, budgets are prepared, and reports are ready for meetings. Good financial oversight helps support the tuckshop, events, equipment and other programs.

✨ Why does this matter?
These roles help shape our school community, support events and services, and give parents a voice in what matters at Caningeraba.
You don't have to take on a role to attend — you're welcome to come along, listen, ask questions, and see what speaks to you.
These roles are not about doing everything yourself - they are about working as part of a small, supportive team to coordinate the many contributions that already exist within our school community.
Be a General Member
Even if you don't want an Executive role, you can still be involved:
- Sharing ideas
- Supporting initiatives
- Contributing to discussions
- Being part of decisions that support students and school life
Importantly, attending the AGM does not mean you are committing to a role. It is simply an opportunity to learn more, ask questions, and understand how the P&C operates.
Membership
To participate in voting at the AGM (including for Executive roles), you must be a current P&C member.
Membership is open to all parents, carers, and members of the school community, and is renewed annually.
