Many P&Cs are looking to re-invent themselves. So we wondered — if you were to start from scratch, what would your P&C look like? We caught up with Canberra’s newest P&C to find out how they approached it.

There is a certain magic to being new —  new year, new classes and teachers, new students, new parents and families. It’s a good time to remember that first impressions — and the way you communicate with families and potential volunteers — can have a lasting impact, writes Marina Spurgin, Council’s Early Learning Officer.

Council strives to be the parent voice on public education – and in 2020 we had a lot to say – but how does it work and what do we achieve?

The ACT Container Deposit Scheme (CDS) is a great way for schools to get involved in recycling, help the environment, and raise funds.

What is your P&C for? Right now is an excellent time to get everyone on board and reflect on what your P&C aims to achieve.

As an ACT Incorporated Association your P&C must report to Access Canberra via a series of specific forms.

As a charity registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profit Commission (ACNC), your P&C must report to the ACNC.
