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.
Counselling for families
The school counsellor can assist when families undergo a trauma or big change. Contact us to make an appointment. For information in community languages, see school counselling service.
Outside of the education system, free telephone counselling services are available to support families who may be going through a difficult time.
- Lifeline – 24-hour telephone counselling service. 13 11 14.
- Mensline Australia – 24-hour telephone counselling service for men. 1300 789 978.
- Parent line – an advice and information service. 1300 1300 52.
Interpreting and translations
We will help you communicate with our school. If you’d like an interpreter for a school meeting, let us know and we will arrange one, if available.
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.
For more information, listen in your language.
Visit the department’s translated documents section for important information that’s relevant for your child’s education in many languages.
Yamba Public School has a small but dedicated P&C and we are always looking for new and not so new faces to come and be part of our School's community. We are a great bunch of Ladies & Gents who not only love to help with our great school, but we also enjoy social occasions where we are always up for a laugh and a chat. We have a meeting once a month to discuss any school issues and of course ways to raise money to spend on our great school. In order to do this we need as many helpers as we can, so please come and play your part in Yamba Public Schools P&C.
We usually meet on the 2nd Tuesday of the Month at 5:30pm in the Staff Room. Children are more than welcome to come along, as we can open the Kindy room for them to play in. Please keep an eye out in the Newsletter for any day changes.
