Parents and Citizens' Associations

Overview

All state schools offer opportunities for parents to join a Parents and Citizens' (P & C) Association. These associations are involved in a variety of school activities from policy to financial planning as well as tuckshops, fundraising activities, school functions and outside school hours care.

The department and the P&Cs Qld work together to support state school P&C groups. This partnership is governed by the EQ/P&Cs Qld partnership protocols.
