P&C Federation Awards Winners 2025
3 months agoCelebrating Outstanding Contributions to Public Schools
The P&C Federation Awards recognise and celebrate the outstanding contributions of P&C Associations, volunteers and principals who strengthen public education across NSW, and this year’s nominees set an inspiring standard. The awards were presented at our recent P&C Federation Conference, where we came together to acknowledge these achievements and reflect on the impact of community leadership in our schools.
Our trophies were proudly created by Banish, using recycled plastics. Their commitment to sustainability and community education reflects the same values we see in our P&Cs every day. We thank them for their partnership in celebrating this year’s achievements.
