Our Advocacy

Working together for ACT public schools  

At ACT Parents, we work alongside families, schools, P&Cs and the broader community to ensure every student in an ACT public school has access to a high-quality, well-resourced education.  
  
Whether you're a parent, carer, or member of a P&C, your voice matters.  

What we are Focused On

Fully Resourced ACT Public Schools

ACT public schools need the staff and resources they were planned to have so students can learn in stable, predictable classrooms. Ongoing staffing pressures and funding constraints are affecting timetables, learning continuity and student wellbeing. 

This year, ACT Parents is focusing our advocacy on ensuring public schools are fully resourced so they can run regular timetables and support students, teachers and school communities.

From Insight to Influence

Parent and carer perspectives sit at the heart of everything we advocate for. We bring lived experience together, present it clearly and constructively, and use it to inform decisions that affect ACT public schools.
