About P&C Day WA
P&C Day WA was started by WACSSO in 2019 as a day for school communities to give thanks to their P&C for all their hard work and contributions. The day was celebrated by schools, parliament members, and other education stakeholders throughout Western Australia, with a range of different events being held to show appreciation for P&C members.
P&C Day continues to grow, with last year’s celebrations having the largest participation yet. We saw strong participation from school communities throughout the State. P&C Day WA continues to have strong support from the Department of Education, and they have been excellent in engaging school staff to get involved in celebrating their P&Cs.
Message from our partner Education WA
In acknowledgment of P&C Day WA 2024, the Director General, Education, observed that P&Cs have long been recognised as the cornerstone of a thriving and connected school community. P&C volunteers were highlighted as committed to fostering community engagement and promoting closer connections with the wider community, while also fundraising for the provision of amenities at their school. The multiplying effect of volunteering and the ability for P&Cs to help ensure students across WA have an outstanding educational journey was also recognised.
How to get involved?
- Spread the word! WACSSO has posters, social media resources, craft projects, event decorations and more to help school communities celebrate their P&C.
- Plan a P&C Day event for your school community. In previous years we’ve seen morning teas, P&C Day acknowledgements at school assemblies, fundraising and community events and more.
- Share your appreciation for the school P&C on social media, don’t forget to use the hashtag #PANDCDAYWA.
WACSSO will be encouraging schools to get on board with the celebration to show their appreciation for P&Cs all over the State.

P&C DAY LOGO
The P&C Day WA logo represents the day-to-day energy and joy we see P&Cs bring to school communities. It also portrays a strong feeling of connection and community, reminiscent of parents and carers linking arms, recognising P&Cs as a collective. The logo also pays homage to the previous ‘let your light shine’ sun theme of P&C Day WA, acknowledging the ‘shining light’ P&Cs provide to school communities. This logo is trademarked to WACSSO.
