Elanora Heights Public School Parents and Citizens' Association (P&C)

The P&C at Elanora Heights Public School plays a vital role in supporting the school and its community. From fundraising for essential resources to running the Canteen and Uniform Shop, the P&C is at the heart of building a strong and connected school environment. Joining the P&C is a fantastic way to get involved, meet other families, and make a real difference in your child’s education.
