WHAT IS THE P&C?

Harbord Parents and Citizens' Association (P&C) is one of the largest School P&C's in NSW. We are a $2m not-for-profit which is managed by volunteer parents, for the interests of the school community.

The vast majority of our committee are working parents juggling careers and family, who feel passionate about the wellbeing of our community and donate our time to this end.

MEMBERSHIP

General membership of the P&C is open to all parents/carers of pupils attending Harbord Public School and to all interested citizens. Membership does not hold any obligations towards volunteering to do anything, it does give you the right to vote on what we do and how we spend funds. It's the best way to get "inside information".

We warmly welcome you to become a member, please click here to find out more.

  1. Managing OOSH (before and after school care)

Your P&C is successful because of the commitment of generous volunteers and our wonderful paid staff.

JUMP IN & JOIN US!

It's absolutely imperative that new parents join the P&C and take on volunteer leadership roles, in order for the P&C to function - OOSH to remain a NFP keeping fees low, likewise for the canteen and uniform shop.

We are effective, professional and passionate about the work we do. There are many opportunities available that will suit your schedule, skills and ability to commit. We are very open to suggestions and can do more with your help.

Feel free to contact us using the form or email a member of the Executive Committee team.
