Parent Council

Parents as partners in their children's learning

All parents and carers of Drummond Community High School students are automatically members of the Parent Council and have a say in how the school is run.

We meet every couple of months and the minutes of our meetings are published on this website. The Parent Council also raises funds for the school, organises and helps out at events, plays a role in staff recruitment and participates in many aspects of school life.

Please come along to our meetings (in person or online) but if you can’t attend and want to raise anything, get involved, take on a role or ask about any aspect of school life, contact the Chair at drummond.parent.council@gmail.com.
