 We'd like to say a massive THANKS to each and every P&C volunteer.
It's been a really tough year and we know that you are the life-blood of your associations and school communities, and give with all your heart.
And Goodbye?

Member survey
Whether you've had a lot to do with Council this year, or just deleted our emails 😉 we'd love to hear your feedback on our member services and what 2021 was like for you and your P&C. The information we collect helps us improve our services and advocate for P&Cs, so we'd really appreciate 10 minutes of your time to complete our 2021 Member Survey if you haven't already. Thanks!

Community Support Grants
The ACT Government's Community Support and Infrastructure Grants fund community support and capacity building, equipment, and small capital works projects which benefit the ACT community. Many P&C projects may be eligible, and this year there is particular emphasis on Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander community members, COVID impacts and wellbeing. Applications close Monday, 7 February 2022.

Consultation on disability education
The Education Directorate want to hear from students with disability (both current and former), carers, families, advocates, school staff and the broader community as part of their ‘Community Conversation’ survey to help strengthen inclusive education in ACT Public Schools. The survey is part of work happening under the Future of Education Strategy.
We have asked the Minister to extend the consultation period, but currently the survey closes December 10.

We're going to miss you Terry - your face and name have been synonymous with Council for so long, and your passion for our public schools is always at the fore.
If P&C members have words of thanks or farewell, please do send them in and we'll present them to him!
