Community involvement

Our school values strong partnerships with our families and community. Parents and carers can get involved through our Parents and Citizens Association (P&C) or by volunteering at our school. Your time and support help make our school a better place for everyone.

Annual Iftar Dinner

The Islamic holy month of Ramadan is a time of reflection, gratitude, and spiritual growth. During this month, Muslims around the world fast from dawn to sunset, refraining from food and drink until they break their fast in the evening with a meal known as Iftar. Macquarie Fields High School proudly hosts a special Iftar Dinner each year, bringing together students, families, and the wider community to celebrate the spirit of Ramadan through unity, generosity, and shared traditions. In 2025, more than 400 people attended the event, making it a memorable and enriching experience for all.

Parents and Citizens Association (P&C)

Have you heard of a P&C but not really knew what is or does?

Our P&C is a committee of volunteers, who are P arents or C itizens who support our school and most importantly, our children.

As a registered charity, we can apply for grants that non-charities may not qualify.

The annual $40 contribution fee (charged as part of the school fees) is used by the P&C to fund improvement projects across the school. Recently, we paid for the painting of student's toilets using these funds, and the P&C made a significant contribution towards the installation of air conditioning for remaining classrooms.

There is a lot on our list to do, we will prioritise suggestions through feedback from our students as to their most pressing needs.

If you can, please attend our P&C meetings and make a productive contribution to our school.

Meetings are the third Monday of the month (during term time), 6:30pm, for 30-45 minutes. Meetings are held both in person and via video conference online.

Join our P&C

To be able to vote at Parent and Citizen Meetings, attendees need to be a financial member of the Macquarie Fields Parent and Citizens Association. The membership fee is $2 and is paid to the Treasurer with the membership form.

The Parents and Citizens association has adopted a constitution which is available for download.

Note: The P&C is not a forum to discuss day to day questions about the school, please contact the office directly as you normally would for those matters.

Looking forward to working with you!

Kindest regards,

Amina
