About Florey Primary School P&C

The name of the organisation is Florey Primary School Parents and Citizens (P&C) Association Incorporated. The P&C was incorporated on 21 September 1982 in Canberra, ACT.

The P&C is responsible for providing parent input into school decision making, as well as providing important services for parents and students -- including fund-raising activities and the Uniform Shop.

Your P&C needs parents/carers' constant support in order to serve the school community better. Therefore, you are invited to attend the P&C meetings to raise issues of concern and be updated on what is happening in your school. Work in the P&C is voluntary, which means that every parent/carer dedicates a bit of his/her spare/free time to a good cause, namely assistance to the school and by extension to his/her child or children.
