Marist College Eastwood Parents Community Group exists to support the school and its community. All parents/carers are encouraged to be active members of the PCG. It represents all the parents of the school as the official parent body in the school community. The PCG provides the opportunity for parents to share their opinions on subject matters and assist in improving the educational opportunitie
s for our children. In particular, the PCG aims to participate in the optimal spiritual, intellectual, social and physical development of pupils at Marist College Eastwood by:
* Providing a medium of support, information and involvement of parents/carers in their children's education and the school community
* Developing teamwork between parents/carers and school staff
* Fostering the principles of Catholic education
* Promoting a distinctive Christian environment in the school
* Providing a medium for parents/carers to participate at Diocesan, State and National levels
All parents of children at the school are automatically members of the PCG. The PCG thrives only through the goodwill and commitment of parents and friends of Marist College Eastwood. Examples of this commitment include:
* Assuming an office bearer position within the PCG executive group;
* Chairing a sub-committee or being an office bearer for a sub-committee;
* Attending and actively participating in monthly general meetings and/or
* Volunteering to help at or organise a fundraising activity. The PCG committee has two roles: Organising social functions that will encourage a sense of community within the school, and raising money for school projects in fun ways. This allows parents to feel involved in the school without feeling overburdened. The PCG committee meets on the third Wednesday of every term, and input from any member of the PCG is valued and welcomed. More information on the PCG is available on our website - http://home.mce.nsw.edu.au/Parents_and_Friends.htm
