Social media

Follow Council on Facebook - we often share posts from other P&Cs so you can see what they are up to.
Or join our Canberra P&C Leaders Group (closed group) where you can chat to and learn from P&C people across Canberra. 
Or Facebook Groups that share information and learning about running school-based uniform shops or canteens in the ACT.

Working groups

Council Working Groups (sub-committees) focus on making improvements and sharing expertise on specific topics, including canteens, uniform shops, and before and after school care. Anyone can join.

Council meetings

Meet other P&C members at our regular meetings and hear how they approach their roles.
