The ACT Council of Parents & Citizens Associations welcomes the announcement today of the phase-out of sugary drinks in schools and the installation, instead, of water bottle re-fill stations.
On Friday, the ACT Council of Parents & Citizens Associations will proudly launch its School Canteen Improvement Project, which will help save canteens in danger of going out of business. The project saves canteens time and money while delivering a better, and healthier, service.
Last night the ACT Council of Parents & Citizens Associations was awarded the overall Award for Excellence in the ACT Chief Minister's Inclusions Awards. Council also took out the Education and Training section of the awards, which recognise businesses, organisations and individuals which have excelled in encouraging, welcoming and supporting people with a disability in their community.

Our information sheets are written with parents in mind, helping you to engage with your school and run an effective parent association.
The ACT Council of Parents & Citizens Associations calls upon Federal Education Minister Christopher Pyne to honour the Gonski model of school funding for four years. Council is extremely disappointed by Minister Pyne’s announcement last week that his government would walk away from the needs based Gonski model.
The ACT Council of Parents & Citizens Associations (Council) is pleased to see the release of the analysis regarding the submissions made by Council and 10 other organisations concerning the approval and registration processes for non-government schools in the ACT.
Our training and info sessions help you run your P&C even better!
They are FREE for our members.
Following today’s ACT budget announcement, the ACT Council of Parents & Citizens Associations (Council) is pleased to see an increase in expenditure by the ACT Government on public schooling.
