Working with our P&C
All jobs listed here are unpaid, volunteer roles run in accordance with the Federation of Parents and Citizens Associations of Australia, NSW (
pandc.org.au). Most volunteers have busy lives and paid careers, in addition to family life. We like to work together as a team, to support each other to ensure nobody feels overwhelmed and yet, all our important work to run the P&C business is still getting done in an efficient and professional way. The more hands we have in designated roles or just occasional helpers, the easier it is for everyone.
Although the work we do is important and can be very busy for the Exec Team, it is extremely rewarding. There's also the awesome banter and camaraderie in working together for a common cause.
We have a laugh and need your help, please join us!

Fundraising and Events Chairperson
This really is a fun role for someone who loves organising events! Fundraising is a fundamental part of the P&C's reason for being and so this role is a really important part of our team.
You would work with the Vice President and President to workshop ideas, divide & conquer where needed and ensure everything is achievable and manageable around everyone's other commitments.
This role includes reporting at each monthly P&C meeting or handing over your report to Vice President or team member if you're unable to attend.
If you're interested in Marketing/Events this would be a great role for you!
Canteen Chairperson starting May 2024
Harbord P&C runs the school canteen. We have two permanent paid members of staff plus other resource but rely on volunteer parents to help as well, making the overheads as low as possible to keep costs down for families.
The Canteen Chairperson is the delegate for the P&C committee, attends monthly meetings with our Canteen Manager and assists in the smooth running of the canteen from a business perspective. The Chairperson produces a very short report for each P&C meeting (4th Tuesday of each month during the term).

Uniform Shop chairperson
Harbord P&C runs the Uniform shop. We have an amazing employee to run the shop BAU but they also need to work with the P&C to ensure smooth running of the business. Vice President also supports this business. Attendance of Monthly shop meetings as well as P&C meetings are required, in addition to reporting at the meeting and proactive assistance where required. This role is mostly advocacy.
Secretary - official executive role (can only be done for 3 years)
This is a crucial position in our P&C for an Executive Assistant or administrator. This person is a big support to the President and must be organised and on the ball with essential admin required to maintain the P&C - by laws, minutes, agendas, paperwork, setting up meetings etc you would need to attend every P&C meeting (4th Tuesday of each month during term) to take official minutes.
Our outgoing Secretary also has a killer sense of humour which is always high on the agenda!
Ad Hoc Helping Hands - no commitment!
There are a lot of things that crop up last minute, other times we have working bees or stalls that need helpers. It's really handy for us to know of people who are already pre-disposed to helping, if you're available. Please reach out if you're interested
