Anakie State School Parents & Citizens' (P&C) Association​

The Anakie State School Parents & Citizens' (P&C) Association is an active group of parents, carers, staff and community members who work in partnership with our school to enhance the learning environment, provide additional resources, and create opportunities for every student to thrive.

Through fundraising, volunteering and community events, the P&C provides valuable support and resources that benefit our entire school community.

Meet Our 2026 P&C Executive

Our 2026 Anakie State School P&C Executive Committee works behind the scenes to support our students, staff and families throughout the year.

• President: Mandy Vale
• Vice President: Rodney Pallentine​​
• Treasurer: Liz Evans
• Secretary: Maddie Slattery

Together with our committee members and volunteers, these dedicated parents are committed to making a positive difference to our school. As the saying goes, many hands make light work, and we truly appreciate the support of our school community.

Our P&C is all about building a vibrant school culture while raising vital funds to enhance learning opportunities for our students. Whether you've been part of our school community for years or are joining us for the first time, we'd love to hear your ideas.

If you would like to become a member, simply email the P&C for a membership form or collect a paper copy from the school office or any member of the P&C Executive.

P&C Meetings

Next General Meeting: Wednesday 26 August 2026

Meetings are held in the school library at 3.15 pm and generally run for around one hour.

Each year we aim to hold six General Meetings, along with an Annual General Meeting at the beginning of the year to elect our Executive Committee.

To make attending easier for families, our meetings coincide with the school's Craft Club, allowing students to enjoy craft activities while parents attend the meeting.

Our meetings are relaxed, welcoming and friendly, and we encourage all parents, carers and community members to come along.

Many Hands Make Light Work!

Tuckshop Volunteers

Our school thrives because of our wonderful community, and we need your help!

Whether you have a few hours to spare each month or can only assist occasionally, volunteering is a rewarding way to support our school and connect with other families.

Our tuckshop is a much-loved part of the school week and relies heavily on volunteers.

Tuckshop operates every Friday at first lunch only (11am).

What you'll do

• Prepare and serve healthy food.
• Pack student lunch orders.
• Assist with cleaning and packing away.

Why it matters

Your support helps keep food affordable while ensuring students have access to nutritious meals. Most importantly, the children absolutely love tuckshop!

Time commitment

Even a couple of hours makes a huge difference.
