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)
Joining the P&C a great way to meet other families, get involved and contribute to our school's future. We would love to have you on board!
The Burwood Public School Parents and Citizens Association (BPS P&C) is a group of parents, carers and school community members. It plays an integral role in the Burwood Public School community. Our P&C works in partnership with our school to bring parents, staff, students, and citizens together to benefit the interests of the students and the community.
Our school enjoys a strong partnership with our very committed P&C. It supports educational programs through money raised and provides a productive avenue for whole school community input into school policy.
The P&C meet at 9am on the third Friday of each month during terms, in the staff room (above the front office). All parents and carers are welcomed to attend these meetings, regardless of whether you are a P&C member or not.
