The Epping Heights Parents & Citizens Association (EHPS P&C) is a group of parent volunteers, teachers and other community members who are committed to working together to achieve the best possible learning environment for the children at Epping Heights Public School.
What does EHPS P&C do?
The aim of EHPS P&C is to:
Promote the interests of the school by bringing parents, citizens, students and teaching staff into close co-operation; and
Assist in providing facilities and equipment for the school and in promoting the recreation and welfare of the school.
Some of the ways EHPS P&C achieve this is by:
Fundraising for school facilities and equipment (including learning resources for the classrooms, bubblers in the playground, shade structures and the creative play zone at the back oval)
Operating the uniform shop
Overseeing the band committee
Organising school grounds working bees
