About

The WESS P&C is a group of parent & carer volunteers supported by office staff who as a whole employ 55+ staff to run the Tuckshop, Cafe, Uniform shop, Tennis Court Hire, Swim Club and Outside School Hours Care. We use the profits from these services along with our fundraising and community engagement efforts (ie Colour Fun Run, Carer’s Day Events/Stalls, Trivia Nights, Raffles, Movie Nights) to support our school’s growth and development by value-adding to the resources, opportunities, programs and facilities already provided through the school and Department of Education. 

The P&C Committee are volunteers of WESS appointed annually at the AGM – all of whom generously donate their time and energy to help improve our school and community. The P&C is made up of the P&C Executive team and its membership body.

West End State School (WESS) is an independent public school with a diverse student population of around 1450 students representing over 60+ nationalities. WESS works hard to provide our students with an holistic experience of school that integrates community and cultural experiences with academic rigour and purpose. WESS P&C plays an active role in supporting the school to achieve its educational, social and community objectives.
