As Term 2 draws to a close and we reach the halfway mark of the school year, I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you, our incredible P&C volunteers, for everything you’ve done so far this year.

When Geoff Puleston arrives at Calwell High School, he is greeted warmly by the front office staff. He greets them enthusiastically as well.
“They are such a good group of people here, so dedicated,” Geoff tells us. “They deserve recognition from us.”

Election Days are a fantastic opportunity for P&Cs to run a successful fundraising BBQ at a polling place. With high foot traffic, it’s a great way to engage with the community and raise funds. This guide covers everything you need to plan, execute, and wrap up a compliant and enjoyable BBQ event. 

Welcome to the 2025 School Year!

We understand that raising concerns about your child's education can sometimes feel challenging.

As we approach the end of 2024, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to each of you for your dedication, energy, and commitment to support public education in the ACT.

At Council, we love hearing stories of school communities getting involved in initiatives like Floriade Community.

As voters head to the polls for the upcoming ACT election, public school P&Cs across the territory are inviting the community to take part in an iconic Australian tradition — the Democracy Sausage!   

Council's highly successful Public Education Election Forum, held in the lead-up to the 2024 ACT election, attracted over 100 registrations, demonstrating the strong interest and commitment of our community to public education.

 It's hard to believe that we are already at the end of Term 3. It has been a busy time for the P&C Council and for our members.
