Community Involvement

Parents and Citizens Association (P&C)

Our Parents and Citizens Association (P&C) is a group of parents, carers and school community members. They assist with school planning, fundraising, events and volunteering. Our P&C works in partnership with our school to promote the interests of our school community. We are proud to be part of the public education system and are excited about the prospects for our school and its community.

Join our P&C

Joining the P&C is a great way to meet other families, get involved in school life and contribute to the decision making of the school's leadership team.

Volunteer opportunities include:

• contributing to discussion forums through meetings
• supporting the operation of the canteen
• joining recruitment panels for new school positions
• volunteering for special duties during school events
• advocating for students and the school to external stakeholders
• nominating to the P&C executive team

The Ryde Secondary College P&C hosts Microsoft Teams meetings twice a term, on Wednesdays from 7:00-9:00pm throughout the school year. The meetings includes agenda items from school staff, such as the Principal and Deputy Principal reports and Head Teacher showcases, as well as key items from the P&C President, Treasurer and general business.
