100 years of P&C Federation - Federation of Parents & Citizens Associations NSW

Celebrate our Centenary

In 2022 the Federation of Parents and Citizens Associations celebrates 100 years of volunteering for NSW public schools – and we want to hear your stories to shine a light on our remarkable members.

Storytelling about our people – through print, photos and video – will bring to life the century of community service and highlight the important role of parents supporting local schools in one of the largest education systems in the world.

We will share your stories on this page, in our E-bulletin, the Parent and Citizen Journal, on social media and in mainstream media. #PandC100years
