The MBS P&C is a volunteer not-for-profit incorporated association. As such, your support and participation at our meetings and events are vital to our ongoing success.

What is the purpose of the MBS P&C?

The MBS P&C works to achieve the best possible outcomes for students and other stakeholders in our school community. The MBS P&C will:

• Consult with the parent community, students, and school staff to identify the main needs of the school and plan accordingly how best to meet those needs.
• Provide feedback about parent views on issues related to the school’s systems and or programs.
• Provide funds to purchase resources identified by the school.
