The Ashfield Boys High School Parents and Citizens’ Association (P&C) is made up of parents and carers, teachers and community members. We meet regularly to contribute to decision-making, developing policies and management plans, as well as fundraising.
The objectives of the parents and citizens are to…
- Promote the interests of the school through co-operation and parental engagement
- Encourage parent and community participation in curriculum and other education issues in the school
- Assist the teaching staff in the establishment of school policy and management in all facets of school activities
- Assist in providing facilities and equipment for the school and in promoting the recreation and welfare of the students at the school.
To continue to do this, we need your active support!
