About the SGHS P&C

The Sydney Girls High School Parents & Citizens (P&C) Association is an active group of parents and carers who work in partnership with the Principal and school staff to support the school community and enhance opportunities for students.

The P&C has three parent-run sub-committees:

• Canteen Committee

• Uniform Shop Committee

• Rowing Club Committee

The Canteen and Uniform Shop are parent-led, non-profit businesses that provide valuable services to the school community and require dedicated parent volunteers to oversee their management and governance. Committee members work alongside paid staff and volunteers to ensure these services continue to operate successfully.

The committees are made up of parent volunteers from all year groups. Parents and carers also support the school through a range of co-curricular parent support groups and by serving as P&C representatives on school bodies, including the School Council.

Meetings

The P&C and its committees meet regularly throughout the year:

• General Business Meetings – once each term (online)

• Executive Committee Meetings – once each term (online)

• Sub-committee Meetings (Canteen, Uniform Shop and Rowing Club) – once each term

• Annual General Meeting (AGM) – held each March at the school

Meeting dates and registration details are communicated to parents and carers via Sentral, with reminders shared through the SGHS P&C WhatsApp Community.

What the P&C Does

The SGHS P&C plays an important role in supporting the school by:

• Building strong communication between the school and the parent and carer community.

• Supporting the governance of the school's canteen, uniform shop and rowing club through parent-led committees.

• Encouraging parent involvement and supporting the school's co-curricular programs.

• Fostering a connected and welcoming school community by providing opportunities for parents and carers to become involved.

• Working with the Principal and Senior Executive to present information sessions, including joint events with Sydney Boys High School.

• Raising funds to provide significant financial support for school programs, facilities, student awards and opportunities.

• Representing the interests of the school community by responding to relevant NSW Department of Education consultations and discussion papers.

Whether you have a little time or a lot, your involvement makes a real difference. We warmly welcome all parents and carers to get involved and help support the SGHS community.
