Membership Form

By law, membership of the P&C Association must be renewed each year. Ideally this should be done at each AGM so that the member has a full year’s membership. Applications can be taken at any time during the year but all memberships lapse at the AGM. If you are not a parent or guardian of a PRSS student, you must have a blue card to join.
