P&C Day

6 March 2013 - Celebrate P&C Day! 

P&C Day is held annually the first Wednesday in March every year.

This is a day for schools and communities to officially recognise and celebrate the contribution made by their local P&C association. The efforts of NSW P&Cs now raise over $54 million each year. This figure doesn’t even count the voluntary hours donated by caring and committed parents.

P&C Day is also a day to raise awareness. There is no better time to explain the vital role of the P&C to others in the school community. Don’t be afraid to celebrate your achievements so others can hear. This shows them examples of the work you have done and may compel others to join the team.

P&C Day is an opportunity to start the year off well. You can set goals and maybe even hold a specific fundraiser while your P&C is in the limelight.

Here are a few ideas to kick start your planning:

Celebrate • Hold a special assembly
• Teachers or staff can host a morning tea
Recognise • Award Life-Memberships
• Share highlights from the past year
Raise Awareness • Start a membership drive
• Invite out a local MP for a photo op
Special Fundraising • Dinner
• Trivia Night

However you and your school community choose to celebrate, take time to enjoy this special day and reflect on the good you’ve been able to achieve through your contribution as volunteers.

P&C - we welcome everybody.
