Concord High School P&C Association and its volunteers work to bring the school community together so that parents, carers, staff and community members can help meet the needs of the school community and contribute to decisions about the school.
We also assist in providing facilities and equipment for the school and promoting the recreation and welfare of the students at the school.
The P&C offers a means of staying connected with your child, their school and your local community.
The P&C is made up of an amazing group of parent, carer and community volunteers. Some choose to be elected to take on specific tasks. Our current office holders for 2023-2024 are
President: Alison Wallbank
Vice Presidents: Amy De Paula
Secretary: Amber Hooker
Treasurer: Chris Shaw
Grants: Anna Koskinen

The P&C Grants programme is run in collaboration with school leadership and staff as well as community groups to identify and apply for funds to finance initiatives that will help our school and community thrive and prosper.
Do you work for an organisation that provides employee grant opportunities? You might not know it but a simple search or query of your company might unearth a grant just waiting for your application on behalf of CHS P&C.
Please contact us if you become aware of any grants that might help the school or if you wish to assist in this area.
Another important way to be involved is to sit as a P&C representative on a Merit Selection Panel for new staff. Please contact us if you would be interested in receiving more information and/or if you are currently trained and/or have sat on Panels before. Training will be provided.
