NSW P
& C Federation - see more at P&C NSW
The Federation of Parents and Citizens' Associations of New South
Wales is committed to a free public education system which is open to all
people, irrespective of culture, gender, academic ability and socioeconomic
class and empowers students to control their own lives and be contributing
members of society.
This commitment is based on the belief that:
• All students have the capacity to learn;
• The Government has prime responsibility to provide an
education system open to all, which is free and secular;
• Schools should be structured to meet the needs of
individual students and should respect the knowledge those students bring to
school and build on that knowledge to foster their understanding about the
world.
Parents, as partners in the education process, have a right and a
responsibility to play an active role in the education of their children.
P&C Federation and its representatives share a responsibility of ensuring
representative decision making for the benefit of all students. P&C
Federation's annual conference, attended by representatives of its 2200
affiliate associations, develops policy which is energetically promoted by
P&C Federation's democratically elected Council.
P&C
Federation believes that a strong and viable government school system is vital
for the nation's future. Australian society and its distinctive values depend
on the practical expression of tolerance, fairness, egalitarianism and
achievement of equitable outcomes provided by public schools.
