Runcorn State School P&C Association

World Mental Health Day | 10 October

We hope all our students had a wonderful first week back at school — and no doubt the parents enjoyed being back in routine too! 😅❤️

As we settle into Term 4, let’s take a moment to check in with our children, our friends and each other. Sometimes, a simple “How are you really going?” can make all the difference.

Remind our kids that it’s okay to ask for help, that they are never alone, and that their feelings matter.

Let’s continue to build a school community where kindness, connection and looking out for one another always come first. 💕

The world is better with you in it. 🌈

So grateful that our P&C was able to sponsor a resilience program for our school ❤️ Helping our children build confidence, resilience and the skills to navigate life’s challenges is so important. What a wonderful investment in our kids! 🌟

📣 RUNCORN STATE SCHOOL P&C MEETING
📅 Monday 12 October 2026
⏰ 3:15pm
📍 Resource Centre

💡Your voice can help shape what happens at our school.

Ever wondered where the money raised through P&C fundraising goes? Or have an idea for something that could make a difference for our students?

Come along and have your say! We’ll be discussing:

🌈 Upcoming events for term 4

💰 Where our fundraising funds can be allocated – helping us decide how we can best support our students and school.

👕 Uniform Policy – an opportunity to hear more, ask questions and share your thoughts.

🙋‍♀️ How YOU can help – there are so many ways to contribute, and you don’t need to attend every meeting or take on a big role. Every little bit helps!

The P&C is about parents and the school community working together to give our children the best possible school experience. When more families get involved, we hear more ideas, understand more perspectives and can make decisions that reflect our wider school community.

❤️ You don’t need to be on the committee. You don’t need to have attended before. And you don’t need to commit to volunteering every week.

Just come along, listen, ask questions, share an idea and see what the P&C is all about.

Your child is part of this school. Your voice matters.

We Need Your Help! 💙

We’re proposing a bigger undercover area for the school pick-up zone to provide students and families with better protection from the sun and rain while waiting at the pick-up area.

We’re looking at funding opportunities through a Gambling Community Benefit Fund grant to help make this important project a reality.

But we can’t do it alone! 🙌

💡 More details are coming soon on how our school community can get behind this project, support the grant application and help strengthen our chances of bringing this much-needed undercover area to Runcorn State School.

Every bit of support can make a difference!

💙 Together, we can make pick-up safer, more comfortable and more weather-friendly for our students and families.

Keep an eye out for more information coming soon! 👀
