As a parent or carer, you are an important part of our school community. We offer a range of services to support you and your family.
Parents and Citizens’ Association (P&C)
Our Parents and Citizens’ Association (P&C) is made up of parents and carers, teachers and community members. The P&C meets regularly to contribute to decision-making, developing policies and management plans as well as fundraising.
The Oak Flats High School P&C meets once a term, usually at Oak Flats Bowling Club between 6 and 7:30 pm. These casual and friendly get togethers are a fantastic way to get involved, meet staff, chat with other parents, and stay up to date on the latest school programs and initiatives. Throughout the year, we raise funds, mainly through our popular chocolate box fundraisers, where staff can purchase chocolates to support the cause. And the best part? The P&C gets to decide how these funds are spent to benefit our students and enhance their learning experience. Whether you’ve got a burning question, or just want to learn more about what’s happening at OFHS, we’d love to see you there. Every new face brings fresh ideas, and we’re always happy to welcome you – no matter when you join during the year! Keep an eye on the Oak Flats High School Facebook Events page and check your inbox for an email the week before each meeting. Together, we can make OFHS an even better place for our students to learn, grow, and thrive!

Interpreting and translations
We will help you communicate with our school. If you’d like an interpreter for a school meeting, let us know and we will arrange one, if available.
If you don’t speak or understand English well and want to contact us, call TIS National on 131 450 and ask for an interpreter in your language. The operator will call the school and get an interpreter to help. This service is free.
