A Parents & Citizens (P&C) Association plays an important role in supporting schools by fostering strong connections between families, staff, students, and the broader community. Its purpose is to promote the interests of the school through collaboration, the provision of additional resources and facilities, and encouraging community engagement in education. While the association contributes positively to the school environment, it does not have authority over the school’s management, teaching staff, or educational instruction.

Under the Education Act 1999, the function of a Parents & Citizens Association is to:

Promote the interests of the school or group of schools for which it is formed through —

(a) cooperation between parents, teachers, students and members of the general community; and

(b) assist in the provision of resources, facilities and amenities for the school or schools; and

(c) foster community interest in educational matters.

 

An association cannot —

(a) intervene in the control or management of a school; or

(b) intervene in the educational instruction of students; or

(c) exercise authority over teaching staff or other persons employed at the school.
