Welcome to the heart of our vibrant school community, the Moss Vale Public School Parents and Citizens (P&C) Association! We are excited to share our story and purpose with you, as we work hand in hand with parents, teachers, staff, and the community to shape the future for our beloved Moss Vale Public School and all of our kids.
The P&C is the parent and community organisation within the school. We are a diverse group of volunteers who work with the school to provide opportunities to advance students' wellbeing and education.
The P&C provides valuable support to the school by:
Bringing the community together with social events.
Assisting parents and the school with communication.
Fundraising for school projects.
Operating the Clothing Pool for students and carers.
Supporting the school with activities for students.
Working with the school to achieve its goals.
Our Mission
MVPS P&C are a diverse group of parent and community volunteers who work with the school to provide opportunities to advance students’ wellbeing and education.
We do this in the following ways:
We help the parent community and the school communicate with one another – for example, by giving feedback and lobbying for change.
We raise money for big projects, like capital works. And we raise money for smaller things, like classroom resources and improving the look of the school grounds.
We provide services for students and carers, like the clothing pool, and Mother’s Day and Father’s Day stalls.
We help pay for extra opportunities for the students.
We give the kids treats, like classroom parties, end-of-term sausage sizzles, fun days.
We provide opportunities for parents to get together socially.
We help the school with its activities – at sports days, in the classroom, at working bees, with the veggie garden.
We model behaviour that represents MVPS values of respect, responsibility and excellence. And we consider the school’s strategic directions in every decision we make.
We model behaviour that the P&C think is important – friendship, fun, teamwork, cooperation, volunteering, gratitude, having a go, inclusiveness, giving and receiving feedback, encouragement, being part of the wider community.
We take part in the wider Moss Vale community by supporting local businesses and other community groups.
We help each other out.

hear from the staff about what’s happening at school
ask questions and hear about school policies and procedures
learn how you can get involved in a way that suits you.
