Community involvement

Our school values strong partnerships with our families and community. Parents and carers can get involved through our Parents and Citizens Association (P&C) or by volunteering at our school. Your time and support help make our school a better place for everyone. What brings us together – we want the best for our children, we want to know what is happening at their school and we want to have a say on issues affecting our children.

Parents and Citizens Association (P&C)

Our P&C is a group of parents, carers and school community members. They assist with school planning, fundraising, events and volunteering. Our P&C works in partnership with our school to promote the interests of our school community.

Joining the P&C as a great way to meet other families, get involved and contribute to our school's future. We would love to have you on board!

Who can join Asquith Public School P&C?

Every parent should join! The more diverse the body is and the more people involved the better the outcomes for our children and the more aware you are of what’s going on at the school.  It costs $1 to be a member for a year and you receive the meeting minutes, principals report and you get to have a vote at meetings. The membership form is linked below.

The P&C only asks 3 things of our parents – participate, volunteer, donate what you can, when you can. There are all sorts of things that can or could be done to get better outcomes for our kids.  If you are willing to contribute your time, then there is something for you. Become a member to vote on where the P&C money is spent.

To keep parents informed with what is happening within the P&C we have a monthly P&C newsletter, "Building Bridges" which comes out via School Bytes.
