If you don’t speak or understand English well and want to contact us, call TIS National on 131 450 and ask for an interpreter in your language. The operator will call the school and get an interpreter to help. This service is free.
For more information, listen in your language.

The William Bayldon P & C Committee consists of a number of dedicated community members that give a tremendous amount of time to provide their community school with extra funds, used to enhance our children’s education with extra curriculum experiences. The P & C is committed to promoting parent/teacher partnerships in our school. The P & C also represents a strong voice in the decision-making process in our school. There is regular communication between the school and the parent body with
P & C meetings held each month.
At William Bayldon Public School we believe in developing strong relationships between the home and school environments. Parents are encouraged to be active participants in school decision making and to have valued input into the education of their child.
We encourage all parents to join our P & C. The P & C meeting dates and times are advertised in the Newsletter, on Facebook and Skoolbag.
Contact details for the current P&C Committee are available at the school office.
