"Parents as Partners" in education is very much a part of the supportive environment at Gordon Head Middle School.

We appreciate receiving support from all parents and welcome ideas and suggestions for our activities and general meetings. PAC information to parents, such as dates of monthly meetings which are open to all parents, general meetings, special functions and requests for volunteers is communicated through the school's biweekly Thursday newsletter. Parent information is posted on our bulletin board inside the school.

If you have any questions please contact a member of the PAC Executive. Our PAC is a member of the VCPAC (Victoria Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils), whose purpose is to encourage and promote meaningful parental involvement in the education of all students within School District 61.
