During the week of May 17 – 24, public schools across the ACT will be holding events to celebrate the crucial role that parents play in schools. Council is calling it the Week of Celebrating School Communities.

The ACT Council of Parents & Citizens Associations is calling on the Commonwealth Government to provide a full six years of Gonski funding for schools in its upcoming budget and ignore several hastily-considered reports on education funding released this week.

Below are some links to resources which parents might find useful.
Council also runs a number of open Working Groups on subjects of particular interest from violence in schools to disability issues.

The ACT Council of Parents and Citizens Associations will be joining teachers and parents in publicly calling for the Federal Government to support the ‘Gonski’ model of school funding.

Council’s long and dedicated work as an advocate for parents of students with a disability was recognised at the end of 2013.

Council helps P&C-managed school canteens with resources, advice, and referrals to other helpful organisations.
Plus, we connect P&C-run canteens so you can share ideas & expertise.

Council is coordinating a week of celebrating our school communities. We have lots of fun ideas, so make sure your school is part of it

With last year's NAPLAN results due to be publicly released on the My School website this week, the ACT Council of Parents and Citizens Associations is reminding parents to view the results with caution.

School NAPLAN results for 2013 are due to be made publicly available on the government's MySchool website on March 6, 2014. At this time, there is usually interest from the community in the achievements and performance of individual schools and newspapers often report on school rankings based on data from the website.
