Parents and Citizens

Supporting our School

The Harrisdale SHS P&C Association is a welcoming space for parents and community members who want to be actively involved in their children’s education and school life.

P&C Associations serve as a forum for parents and citizens in government schools. They aim to foster parent participation, encourage open discussion about school-related issues, and promote cooperation within the school community. They also help bring educational matters to the attention of the wider public and provide additional resources to benefit students.

Joining the P&C is a great way to stay connected with your child’s education, meet other families, and contribute to the school’s growth. Membership costs just $1.00 per year, and you’re welcome to join at any time. Whether you simply attend meetings to stay informed or volunteer at events, your involvement is valued.

Meetings are typically held every two months on a Wednesday at 6:00 PM in the school boardroom. For those unable to attend in person, an online option via MS Teams is available.

Our next meeting is on: Wednesday 29 July, 2026

Volunteers

Volunteers are those individuals who willingly give their time to fulfil a community service or assist either in a classroom setting or in other ways within the school without the expectation of remuneration. Volunteers provide wonderful support and assistance for specific school programs. Please keep a look-out on our website for volunteering requests and opportunities if you have the interest, availability and skills to assist.

National Police History Check

All education sector volunteers are required to obtain a National Police History Check. The principal of the school must complete the Volunteer Certification in the application package. National Police History Check applications can be completed at the school and require 100 points of identification.

Working With Children Check

The Working with Children (WWC) Check is a compulsory check for many people who work with children under the age of 18 in Western Australia. The principal of the school must sign the WWC application. WWC application forms can be collected from the school or post office and require 100 points of identification. The WWC Check is different and additional to the National Police History Check. In many cases, employees will require both checks.
