The Parents & Citizens' Association (P&C)

The Gladesville Public School P&C is a parent-led group that is open to all families and staff at the school. All parents and carers, old and new to the school, are always welcome!

The GPS P&C is run by an elected committee, made up of volunteer parents. We provide a general forum for discussion on issues that affect the school and its community and, working with the school Principal, assist in developing ideas and initiatives for managing them. The P&C is made up of parents and carers from Kindy through to Year 6 – all volunteers are welcome.

We also organise a number of social events for students and families throughout the year, fundraise, and manage services such as the second-hand uniform shop.

The GPS P&C is all about bringing the community together and supporting the school. In recent years the GPS P&C has held successful events such as Colour Runs, Movie Nights, Plates of the World, School Discos, Gelato Day, and many more fun events!

Our fundraising contributions have supported the role of a GPS SLSO (School Learning Support Officer), provided supplies for classroom teachers, purchased new reading texts and classroom smart boards, and more.

How do I become involved?

All parents at GPS are welcome and encouraged to get involved with the GPS P&C. To become a voting P&C member you need to attend a meeting and pay a $1 annual membership fee – this can be done in person or via the Qkr! App. However you are more than welcome to visit a meeting without becoming a member – everyone is welcome!

For those that can’t attend meetings in person, we offer a remote login for each meeting so you can join virtually.

Our meetings include a report from the Principal which is often an informative insight into what is happening within the school, an update from our committees, information on upcoming events, and an opportunity for you to ask questions and have your say. 

Parents and carers are also encouraged to volunteer at P&C events or help with planning behind the scenes. Whatever your talents or time available, we’d love to have you involved!

We also encourage all GPS parents and carers to join the GPS Community Facebook page.
