The North Perth Primary School Parents and Citizens’ (P&C) Association is a highly valued and active part of the school community.
Role of the P&C
The P&C is a formally constituted group of parents and other interested persons established under the School Education Act (1999) to promote the interests of the school through:
- cooperation between parents, teachers, students and members of the general community;
- assisting in the provision of resources, facilities and amenities for the school or group of schools; and
- the fostering of community interest in educational matters.
Fundraising
Though its fundraising efforts, the P&C has contributed significantly to the improvement of the school grounds, air conditioning of the classrooms, building up of library stocks, and purchase of IT equipment. It also takes a keen interest in the discussion of educational issues.
Some of the activities undertaken by the North Perth Primary School P&C include:
- Goonderup Day and Early Childhood Sports Day Sausage Sizzles
- Election Day cake stalls
- Working with North Perth Local community

P&C Meetings
P&C meetings are held on Monday 7:30pm in Weeks 3 and 8 of each term. All parents become voting members on paying a fee of $1.00 each year. The P&C Facebook page details the exact dates.

Our Students
Many outstanding students have attended North Perth Primary School including Rhodes Scholars and high profile members of the arts, legal and sporting communities.
North Perth Primary School staff recognise that students learn at different rates and believe that their time at Primary School is just one chapter of life long learning. We believe students should have access to a flexible, supportive learning environment and have the opportunity to progress at their own rate of development.
