Community involvement

Parents and carers can get involved through our Parents and Citizens Association (P&C) or by volunteering at our school. Your time and support help make our school a better place for everyone.

Our dedicated P&C Association is the heartbeat of our school community. They selflessly give their time to manage our canteen, coordinate fundraisers, and support countless initiatives that make a real difference. Each year, they also host our much-anticipated Mother’s Day and Father’s Day stalls, giving students the joy of choosing a special gift for their loved ones. Their contributions have helped fund new primary exercise equipment, valuable school resources, upgraded technology, and air conditioners to ensure comfortable learning spaces for our students. Together, we make Cardiff South a truly special place — where community spirit, collaboration, and care help our students thrive.
