WESS P&C Just One Thing Survey 2026

Our P&C is powered by the time, skills and generosity of parents and carers. This year, we’re inviting every family to consider doing just one thing to support our school community - whether that’s helping at an event, volunteering in one of our services, sharing a skill, or lending a hand behind the scenes. People who volunteer regularly throughout the year will receive a Certificate of Appreciation in recognition of their contribution. Thank you for helping make WESS such a strong, connected and supportive community. Volunteer survey takes 5 mins to complete.
