Parents and citizens association

An active school Parents and Citizens Association (P&C) is a vital component of a successful school and at Petersham Public School we have a culture of parental and community engagement. This directly translates to our children having many varied opportunities for activities, experiences and resources. We welcome and encourage all parents to be involved.

In addition to continuing to advocate for school funding, we will also be applying for various community grants throughout the year – if you can assist in any way we would love to hear from you. We are also lucky enough to be continuing our partnership with Frederico Fraga-Matos from Stone Real Estate Inner West, who has been a proud supporter of our school for some time. 

If you would like to be added to the P&C email distribution list to be kept up to date with meetings, please email petershampandc@gmail.com.

Social and fundraising events

Organising social and fundraising events is a big part of what the P&C does. However, you might be surprised how few people are behind the organisation of the many and varied events we do!

Do you and your friends have an idea for a fundraising event, or are thinking about taking on the organisation of one of our existing events?  Get in touch at petershampandc@gmail.com if you are willing and able!

Events will only run if we have volunteers to actually organise them - if you would like to volunteer to take control of one of the events, we definitely need you! We always have a team of wonderful volunteers for all our events, but we need a person or team of people to take charge and start the organization.
