Your year on the P&C
We'd love to know how things went this year for you on your parent association - what you loved and what you needed more help with. Please tell us all about it in our 2019 Member Survey. It will take about 10 minutes to complete but will really help us improve the experience of future volunteers. THANKS!

Imagination Declaration
Following the Uluru Statement From The Heart earlier this year, a group of young Indigenous people gathered in East Arnhem Land for the Youth Forum at Garma Festival and together created a declaration for the Prime Minister and Education Ministers across Australia - The Imagination Declaration. It's a powerful statement and well worth reading if you want to feel positive about the strength and vision of young people.

Science in your own backyard
Butterflies Australia is asking for your help, via their App, to track, identify and understand our butterflies while the Wild Pollinator Count asks you to spend a few minutes observing bees and other pollinators on flowering plants. Both are great ways for families to get outdoors and into some science.
