What is a P&C Association?

A P&C Association is a school-based organisation consisting of parents, teachers and interested citizens.  The Education Act 1990 states that P&C Associations are established to:

·  Promote the interest of the school by bringing parents, citizens, students and teaching staff into close co-operation;

·  Assist in providing facilities and equipment for the school and promoting the recreation and welfare of the students at the school;

·  Encourage parent and community participation in curriculum and other educational issues in schools;

·  Report, when requested by the Minister, on the material requirements of the school and advise on the subject of maintenance of the school, alterations and additions to school facilities and the selection of new sites;

·  Assist and co-operate with teaching staff at public functions associated with the school;

·  Be responsible for the election of parent representatives to any school council constituted at the school in consultation with the principal of the school; and

·  Assist in any other matters in which the Minister may seek the co-operation of the association.

These objects and functions are included in the prescribed and standard constitutions for both incorporated and unincorporated associations.

We look forward to welcoming you into the school for the NHS P&C Term 2 Forum.  Light afternoon tea and refreshments will be provided.
