Applications for P&C assistance are considered in the following order of priority: 

1. Activities, resources or equipment that support the educational and social needs of students 

2. Local educational activities or programs 

3. Interstate educational activities or programs 

4. Activities or programs at which students represent the school 

5. Minor works

In assessing "Wish List" items, the P&C will consider:  

• Whether alternative sources of support have been sought (e.g. from the Education Directorate, school finances, business/educational partnerships, grants etc)  

• The opinions and preferences of the school community  

• The number of students that will benefit  

• The balance between priorities (listed above) and the equity of applications (in terms of curriculum areas, types of activities, and between year-levels etc) on an annual basis  

• How the school community will be informed about the purpose and benefits of the activity  

• Whether the application can be supported within the proposed timeframe. 

In assessing "Wish List" items, the P&C may: 

1. Request further information 

2. Defer a decision until the next meeting (decisions should not be deferred longer than six months) 

3. Determine that a portion of an application will be supported 

4. Establish a subcommittee to develop an application further 

5. Deny or approve an application.
