P&C DAY WA

2024 P&C Day WA

P&C Day WA 2024 will be celebrated on Friday 24 May. Falling within National Volunteers Week, this event gives schools and education stakeholders the opportunity to celebrate P&C members and volunteers.

P&C Day WA is kindly supported by the WA Department of Education and FreshSNAP – Fresh School Nutrition Advisory Program.

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, as they have been excellent in engaging school staff to get involved in celebrating their P&Cs.

Message from our partner FreshSNAP

FreshSNAP is your Western Australian Fresh School Nutrition Advisory Program. They are committed to providing an integrated, comprehensive state-wide advisory and implementation service to deliver nutrition education and support schools in creating healthy food and drink environments.

FreshSNAP offers a comprehensive all-on-one-plate advisory service. The whole school community — leadership, teachers, canteen and food service staff, students, families, and professionals supporting schools — are able to access tools and resources to create sustainable, healthy school food and drink environments.

With phone, email and face-to-face support, as well as FoodChecker, an Australian-first, free assessment tool that allows organisations to self-assess menus, recipes and products according to the WA School Food and Drink Criteria, FreshSNAP is here to help lighten the load on canteen, school and P&C staff and volunteers.

FreshSNAP is proudly funded by the Department of Health Western Australia.

FreshSNAP has chosen to support P&C Day WA to acknowledge and champion the amazing work done by P&Cs across WA. P&Cs are vital to creating school environments that encourage students and families to grow, learn, thrive, and reach their full potential. This commitment to supporting students and families is at the core of what FreshSNAP does, and it is a natural alignment to be able to support WACSSO and P&C Day WA.

P&C Day WA 2024 is supported by the WA Department of Education and FreshSNAP.

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.
