Parents & Citizens Association

The Burrendah Primary Parents & Citizens Association Inc. (P&C) is a volunteer-led organisation supporting the school community. We work alongside parents, caregivers, staff and local community members to enhance the school experience for all students.

What We Do

The P&C plays an active role in school life by:

  • managing the canteen, preloved uniform stall and book club
  • organising fundraisers and fun school events
  • providing funding for school resources and projects

Over the years, P&C fundraising has contributed to:

  • playground and outdoor enhancements, including the nature play area, spider climbing frame and tornado swing
  • books, library furniture and classroom improvements
  • sports equipment, including soccer goals and basketball equipment
  • specialist uniforms, including basketball tops, interschool polo shirts and choir uniforms
  • music and arts resources, including the timpani drums, and
  • many fun events for our children and the school community!

How to Get Involved

The P&C is made up entirely of volunteers and parent involvement is essential to its success. Even a small contribution of time can make a big difference.

  • Join as a P&C member – Membership is only $1 per year and gives you the right to vote on key decisions at meetings.
  • Attend P&C meetings – Meetings are held twice a term (Week 3 & Week 7, Mondays at 7pm) in the School Hall. All parents and caregivers are welcome at any meeting – you don’t need to be a paid member.
  • Volunteer when you can – Whether it’s helping at an event, supporting in the canteen or assisting behind the scenes, there are many ways to contribute. Simply join our P&C Volunteers WhatsApp group to receive notices when we need help. There is no pressure and no chat. Scan the QR code below to join now:
