Community involvement

Our school values strong partnerships with our families and community. Parents and carers can get involved through our Parents and Citizens Association (P&C) or by volunteering at our school.

Your time and support help make our school a better place for everyone.

Parents and Citizens Association (P&C)

The P&C Association of Edgeworth Heights Public School is child-centered. We work in partnership with the whole school community to provide an inclusive, safe, welcoming environment where all students succeed.

It is expected that all members of the Edgeworth Heights learning community and P&C conduct themselves in a respectful and positive manner in accordance with the school's Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) framework and the P&C code of conduct policy.

About the P&C

The Edgeworth Heights P&C Association is a not-for-profit organisation which is established to promote the interests of the school by bringing parents, citizens, students and teaching staff into close co-operation whilst assisting to provide facilities and equipment for the school.
The P&C also assist with promoting the recreation and welfare of the students at Edgeworth Heights Public School.
