Joining the P&C is a great way to get involved in your school community, keep up-to-date with what’s happening at the school, contribute to your child’s education and make new friends.
A Parents and Citizens’ Association (P&C) is a group of people who take a formal role in supporting a school by enabling and providing:
- close cooperation between parents, community, staff and students
- feedback on school policies and activities
- resources to enhance student learning and improve the school environment (often by raising funds)
- opportunities for parents to be involved in their child’s education and the broader school community.
Each P&C operates under a constitution which is approved and adopted by its members. The Education (General Provisions) Act 2006 and the Education (General Provisions) Regulation 2017 determine the formation, objectives and functions of P&Cs.
