All members of a school community have the right to be treated with respect.
If conflict arises – within the P&C, between a P&C member and a member of the school community, or between a P&C and a school – all parties have an obligation to try to resolve the situation in a respectful way for the benefit of the school and its students.
The Parent and Community Code of Conduct aims to communicate the conduct expected of parents, carers and visitors while they’re on state school grounds, at school activities, and interacting with others in the school community.
The Queensland Government has developed a useful fact sheet for P&Cs to manage conflict, which outlines actions and strategies for when conflict arises.
