P&C

APS Parents & Citizens Association

Get involved with the school community

Annandale Public School's P&C association is a very active and social group dedicated to supporting our children and their school.

We plan and run regular events and fundraising activities, from art shows to trivia nights and fetes. We also work behind the scenes, supporting school activities such as the Learning Garden through our tireless sub-committees. It's a great way to meet parents at the school and form lifelong friendships.

There are many ways to support our P&C – here are a few ways to get started

Make sure you're on the mailing list - email the P&C Secretary at apspandc@gmail.com
Become a member - fill in the membership form and pay your $1 membership fee. As a member you will be eligible to stand for office and vote on motions at meetings.
Help out with P&C events and activities, including your class activities.
Come along to meetings - we meet every month, on the last Tuesday of the month, from 7:30pm to 9:30pm in the School Library. This is where we identify projects and allocate volunteers and financial resources.
Join a sub-committee and help coordinate an activity or issue of interest.

What does the P&C do?

We focus on the following ways of supporting our school:

Purchase education and school equipment, resources and aids
Improve our school's facilities and grounds
Contribute to the educational processes within our school
Run the school uniform shop to provide uniforms for students

Who can join the P&C?

Parents of children attending Annandale Public School and residents who are interested in the welfare of the school and live within the school district are welcome to become members.

Will being a member take lots of time?

P&C members give as much time as they can. There are no expectations. The important thing is that you become involved in some way to improve your child's school's facilities and educational services.

Some members attend P&C Meetings, assist with fundraising, help out at working bees or assist at school events such as the Big Night Out.

How do I add something to the P&C meeting agenda?

Please email the P&C Secretary at apspandc@gmail.com no later than 24 hours prior to the meeting, briefly explaining what the item is and your main purpose for raising it with the P&C.
