The DCPTA is run by a committee of volunteers. Its main function is to promote and enhance cooperation between parents, teachers, and all College staff for the education and wellbeing of DC students.

DCPTA services include:

• organising functions for the College community;

• raising funds;

• collecting payments on behalf of the College for certain activities and items;

• receiving, and forwarding to appropriate staff members when necessary, comments, suggestions, and ideas from parents and students;

• providing regular grants to cover teacher requests;

• allocating money to the Student Council to support student initiatives across the College;

• PTA Shop

Among other things, PTA fees support the PTA Shop, which is run by a PTA Coordinator and a team of parent volunteers as a service to the whole College community. The Shop is open from 8.00 am to 3.30 pm Tuesday & Thursday by appointment. The Shop has sample sizes of the uniform to facilitate parents and students to determine their appropriate size. Second-hand uniforms are also available to purchase at discounted prices. These opening hours may be amended during the course of the year depending on shop operations.
