The Parents and Citizens' (P&C) association makes a valuable contribution toward school improvements and decision making. Parents/carers, staff and community members are encouraged to join USHS P&C so member ideas and opinions can help achieve better outcomes for the school and our students.
Ultimately, it's USHS students who benefit from having a P&C representative of our entire school community. Being involved in P&C achievements at USHS is also significantly rewarding for members.
