Parents and Citizens Association

A P&C association is a school-based organization consisting of parents and citizens created to bring the school and community into close co-operation. They have existed for over 150 years and have long been recognized by parliament as the representative voice of parents with children in Public Schools. Learn more at the Federation of Parents and Citizens Associations of New South Wales website.

P&C groups perform different functions and tasks specific to their school. Below is a list of our primary functions. From time to time we may be called upon to consider other areas of assistance. 

• 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 education issues in schools.
• Being responsible for the election of parent representatives to any school council at the school in consultation with the principal of the school.
• Assist in any other matters in which the Minister may seek the co-operation of the association.

Our P&C association raises monies through the sale of uniform shop items. Monies raised are then used for school improvement and student experience. 

In recent times we have funded shaded outdoor areas for student enjoyment and green houses for the TAS department.

Membership is open to all parents and guardians of students attending Quakers Hill High School and to all citizens within the local school community.

Membership is not compulsory. However, If you wish to join as a member with voting rights, the cost is $2.00 for a year. Our year runs from one annual general meeting (AGM) to the next. Our AGM’s are held in March.

In the event you do not wish to become a member, you are more than welcome to attend and join the discussions and presentations.

Expect to be greeted with a warm welcome and smile.

You will have opportunity to hear about important school projects. And from next month we will be having guest speakers from different school departments addressing topics of interest to parents, students and the wider community. We are thrilled to be adding this to our agenda on a regular basis 

We understand parents are tired at the end of a long day. Where possible, we attempt to keep the meeting duration to one hour. We appreciate there are sometimes questions that need addressing and occasionally may need to run the meeting a little longer.

​Should you require any further information or require a membership application form, please contact us via email quakershillhighschool@pandcaffiliate.org.au

We look forward to seeing you at a meeting soon.
