P&C Roles
At the P&C AGM in February each year, all P&C positions become vacant. They are refilled by attending parents, following a vote of those present at the meeting. Any unfilled positions can be filled by vote at the next ordinary P&C meeting. Please contact the P&C President if you are interested in any unfilled roles via this form.
Some large P&C roles are team roles, where groups of parents work together. All KPS parents are warmly welcome to participate in the P&C, regardless of experience or English skills. The P&C can not continue to exist without the contribution of all our parents, particularly our ESL parents who make up more than half of the school community.
