Community involvement

The parents and citizens association (P&C) exists solely to support our children at Helensburgh Public School and has been instrumental in completing multiple projects that have increased the learning, development and enjoyment of the students at the school.

"P&C Federation is committed to a free public education system which is inclusive of all, irrespective of culture, gender, academic ability and socio-economic status. Parents as partners in the education process, have a right and a responsibility to play an active role in the education of their children." From the P&C Federation. For more information on the P&C Federation, visit the website.

About our Parents and Citizens Association (P&C)

We undertake and participate in a variety of activities including speaking up on behalf of the students externally and internally, fundraising to purchase resources, and planning and executing fun, community building activities like the Spooky Carnival. Parents are encouraged to join us by volunteering throughout the year at events such as the Mothers’ and Fathers’ Day stalls, Grandparent’s Day, sausage sizzles, discos and other school events.

We can’t all be at everything, but if every family at the school assisted with at least one event a year, it would be immensely valuable! The P&C is made up of ordinary parents, like yourselves, who believe in closely partnering with the school to ensure it has the information, input and funds necessary to provide the best education it can for our children.​

Join our P&C

If you or your business can help the school in any way, please contact the P&C via email at  pandchps@gmail.com.

P&C meetings

The P&C meets on Tuesday evenings at 7pm in the School Library. There are two meetings per Term. Meetings are held in Week 3 and Week 7 each term. All parents with suggestions, ideas, input and concerns are welcome.
