Parents and Citizens
The Artarmon Public School parents and citizens' association (P&C) offers parents and carers an excellent opportunity to strengthen the links between the school and the wider community. We welcome everyone involved with our school community to participate.
Functions of the parents and citizens' association
The Artarmon P&C coordinates or directly provides services at the school in addition to raising funds that contribute to school assets and teaching resources in order to:
- facilitate communication and social interaction across the school community
- celebrate and support the diverse multicultural community at the school
- promote the recreation and welfare of the students at the school
- encourage parent & community participation in educational outcomes
- assist in providing facilities and equipment for the school where the need arises
- provide a voice for parents and the community in major decisions concerning the school.
The P&C also provides governance and coordination for the various sub committees that support the school community, such as canteen, social and fundraising, multi-cultural, uniform, band, strings, gardening, sustainability and traffic.

Parents and citizens' association meetings
P&C meetings are on the 4th Wednesday of each month during term and are held in the school staff room, at 7pm. We hear reports from the school executive (principal, deputy principal, and assistant principals), the P&C committee conveners and general business is discussed. Minutes of each meeting including reports from each committee are published here—P&C meetings & minutes.
To continue to provide the services to students and parents that the school community has come to expect of the P&C, the eagerness of new volunteers needs to be encouraged at every opportunity. It is always inspiring to see parents giving generously of their time, skills and money to support the school.
Joining Artarmon P&C is easy and a great way to get involved with your child's life at school or a great way to stay in touch with what is happening at school—how you can help.
