P&C

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​All parents, guardians and friends of our school are encouraged to engage and support their students' high school journey by becoming members of our Parents and Citizens' Association (P&C). The P&C is a professional and active Association, working closely with School staff to build a strong community. Diversity within the P&C is important and ensures that our Association is representative of the School community and reflects the values and beliefs that are key to Mansfield State High School. We welcome all parents and community members who are committed to delivering great educational outcomes and value the skills and experiences they can offer.

You can read the end of year message from our P&C President, Kate Williams to learn more about some of our 2024 achievements.

Enquiries about the P&C can be emailed to: info@mshspc.com.au​

P&C Membership

Membe​rship of the P&C is open to all parents and caregivers of enrolled students. It is an annual membership which lapses at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) each year when a new membership form must be completed. Members can join at anytime through the year, members are accepted when the completed form is presented at the meeting for approval. The member does not need to attend the meeting for this to happen. P&C members automatically receive a copy of all reports and paperwork via email prior to each meeting.

• Join by completing the online 2024 Membership Application Form (this is the form being used until the AGM in February).

Please note: Members of the public who do not have a student enrolled at the school are welcome to join, but must hold a Blue Card and present this for verification with the Secretary.
