Parent involvement

Parents and citizens association (P&C)

The members of the P & C, the staff and principal would like to welcome all new students to the school and would like to welcome any new parents to join the P& C Association to help with making any decisions concerning their child's schooling. The P & C meet each month in the staff room. Date and time are advised in our weekly newsletter. All parents are welcome to join this interested group.

Aboriginal education consultative group (AECG)

The members of this group are also interested in Aboriginal Education and its students. AECG is part of a tri-level organisation—local, regional, state. The local AECG has reconvened in 2005. If you are interested in joining this group see Preston Connors.

Advisory group

This community elected group is responsible for decisions about improving outcomes for students at Tingha Public School. This group consists of  AECG members, community members, and the principal. Collaborative decision making and community consultancy are the main focuses of this group.

Parent helpers

Many parents have maintained a close relationship with the school by involving themselves as parent helpers in the classroom. These parents provide an invaluable service in assisting with reading groups, maths groups, covering library books, making resources, art and craft groups. If you are interested in assisting in this manner please speak to your child's teacher. Any assistance will be gratefully accepted.

Scripture teachers

A dedicated group of local parent, community members and the clergy assist with Scripture classes each week. If you are interested in joining this group please contact the school or one of the regular Scripture teachers.
