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)

Our 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.

Marrickville West is a warm and welcoming school community where diversity is celebrated and enjoyed. The main purpose of our P&C is to build a strong community through family events for all ages and stages, sometimes for fundraising purposes, and at other times just to be together. Don’t go it alone – come join us and find out what we can do for each other. All parents and carers are automatic members.

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!

Join our P&C

Anyone is welcome to come and join us at the P&C meeting held twice a term.

P&C meetings

P&C Meetings are Thursday, Weeks 3 and 8 of every term at 7pm held in the staffroom.
