Mission Statement
The Parents and Citizens (P&C) Association supports the school to provide a positive learning environment where everybody is inspired to be their best.
The P&C is open to all parents of students attending our school and all citizens within the school community. We promote the interests of the school by bringing parents, citizens, students and teaching staff together, and by raising funds to provide facilities and equipment for the school.
Allambie Heights Public School P and C Constitution
What we do
The P&C meets once a term on a Tuesday or Wednesday evening at 7.00pm. The meetings include a report from the school Principal, as well as reports from the P&C President and Treasurer. P&C sub-committee reports are communicated to all financial members prior to the meeting and discussed in the meeting, if required. Guest speakers are invited to give presentations on topics of interest. Importantly, P&C meetings provide a forum for discussion about the school and local community, with agenda items welcome from any parent or citizen.
The P&C also undertakes fundraising activities to assist the school in providing educational programs and equipment. Funds raised are held in trust and donated to the school on a yearly basis at the discretion of the P&C.
At the Annual General Meeting held at the end of each year, relevant sub-committees provide an annual trading profit and loss statement and all positions become vacant. All parents and local citizens are invited to apply for positions and are formally elected to take up their roles for the forthcoming year.

How you can join us
You can become a financial member of the P&C by donating a gold coin in person at a meeting or via Flexischools under P&C Annual Membership Fee link.
The gold coin donation lasts until the end of the AGM in November. Your voting rights are activated at the next meeting after your donation, eg: if you pay and attend the September meeting, you will be able to vote from the October meeting. Your financial status will finish at the end of the AGM.
Helping at school is a great way to get involved in your child’s education, as well as to get to know the school staff and other parents and carers.
Meeting Agendas
Please provide any agenda items two weeks prior to the meeting date via ahpandc@gmail.com. The meeting agenda is communicated via Compass email the week before each meeting. Once the agenda has been published to the school community, items cannot be added to the agenda.
Fundraising
At the beginning of term 1, the school proposes a 'wishlist' of items which are needed by the school to help focus fundraising efforts. In recent years, monies raised by the P&C have enabled the school to purchase new playground equipment, a shade cover in the playground to provide additional shade at break times and much needed readers for the Literacy Centre.
Many new musical instruments have also been purchased with money donated by the P&C, enabling a larger number of children to learn an instrument and join the school band program.
Student Injury Insurance
Student Injury Insurance is held by the P&C and applies to all students enrolled at the school. Please click on the links below to see what is covered and how you can make a claim.
