PTN SUB-COMMITTEES

Cockle Bay PTN operates on a sub-committee system and all members choose which sub-committee area they would like to be involved in. Each year the sub-committees will be task focussed, with members of each sub-committee opting to focus on one or two particular tasks.

For those wishing to join the PTN, please complete the form at the bottom of this information and then return to the school office.

It is expected that each sub-committee meets at least once each term at a time convenient to sub-committee members.
