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 External link and the Education (General Provisions) Regulation 2017 External link determine the formation, objectives and functions of P&Cs.
