About the P&C

Annandale Public School's P&C association is a very active and social group dedicated to supporting our children and their school. We plan and run regular events and fundraising activities, from art shows to trivia nights and fetes. We also work behind the scenes, supporting school activities such as the Learning Garden through our tireless sub-committees. It's a great way to meet parents at the school and form lifelong friendships.

What does the P&C do?

We focus on the following ways of supporting our school:

• Purchase education and school equipment, resources and aids
• Improve our school's facilities and grounds
• Contribute to the educational processes within our school
• Run the school uniform shop to provide uniforms for students
• Assist and cooperate with teaching staff in public functions associated with the school
• Foster community involvement in school activities

The Annandale Public School Parents & Citizens Association is a body corporate under the Parents and Citizens' Associations Incorporation Act 1976, affiliated to the Federation of Parents & Citizens Associations (NSW).

Class Representatives

If you'd like to be a class rep, please let your class teacher know at the Meet the Teacher evening in early Term 1.

The President chairs all meetings and may represent the Association at official functions and act as the Association's spokesperson when public statements or actions are appropriate.

Vice-President

The Vice-Presidents are required to take on any of the Presidential duties when invited to do so by the President or when the President is, for reasons of illness or alternative commitments, unable to undertake those duties. If the President's office falls vacant, one of the Vice-Presidents acts as interim President until a new one is elected.

The Secretary prepares meeting agendas, maintains a list of financial members, attends every Association meeting and takes notes to produce minutes for distribution to members.

The Treasurer is responsible for the sound financial management of the Association. The Treasurer receives and deposits monies, maintains records, draws cheques and presents accounts at each general meeting. The Treasurer presents all records for auditing each year and ensures that the audited accounts are tabled for adoption at the Annual General Meeting.

The Uniform Shop is located in the infants block. Enter past 1B and follow the corridor and head downstairs, we are immediately on your right.

Opening Hours

Every Friday morning during term from 8:30 - 9:15am.

Order Uniforms Online

If you are unable to get to the uniform shop during opening hours, you can order online through Flexischools. When you order, select whether you would like to collect from the uniform shop or have your order delivered to your child's class.
