All ACT P&Cs (parent associations) are members of Council, and have access to our free help!
Find out more about our meetings below and check our calendar for upcoming dates.
We give ACT parents a voice on public education, and create parent-driven change in our schools.
Have Your Say: Email Your Local Politicians
Is your child's class split again? Maybe the school roof is leaking? Or the school has stopped offering languages, or a small group program?
ACT Parent has been hearing from families from across the territory sharing concerns about staffing shortages, ageing facilities, and reduced access to specialist programs in public schools.
While every school’s situation is different, many communities are feeling similar pressures across the public education system.
To help families raise these issues directly with decision-makers, ACT Parents has created a new webpage with simple template letters that can be used to write to ACT politicans about what is happening at your school.
Speak Up for Public Education
A Simple Next Step for P&Cs
Please consider sharing this page with your school community. P&Cs can suggest the template that best reflects their school’s situation and encourage families to personalise it with a short example from their own experience.
When families from many schools raise similar concerns, it becomes much harder for those issues to be overlooked.
Every school community has a story to tell - and together, those voices can make a real difference.
