Participation in
the P&C (Parent and Citizens/Community Association) provides the
opportunity for you to have direct involvement, share your positive ideas and a voice
in school decision making. Having input into the success and progress of the
school is rewarding and benefits your child. For a child, knowing that
their parent/carer and school community are involved in their
education/learning and development of their school helps them to feel valued
and supported. Together as partners, the school and P&C work
collaboratively; providing a successful education. This is the result of a team
effort involving the school community, staff, parents/carers and students. The
Urangan State High School P&C encourages you to participate in your child's
education.

USHS P&C operate the following SCHOOL SERVICES:
