Chatswood High School P&C
The Parents and Citizens Association (P&C) of Chatswood High School brings parents, staff and other members of the community together, to advance the best interests of the school and its students. The P&C plays an important role in supporting the school through parent volunteer Sub-Committees which support the programmes and activities that the School is involved with. All parents are invited to participate in the activities of the P&C.

The next General P&C Meeting will be held on Tuesday 19 February at 7:30pm in the Learning Space. All parents and teachers are invited to attend. Any agenda items should be emailed to the secretary.

Bathroom Upgrade

Following on from a presentation by the 2017/2018 school captains about the state of the bathroom facilities, the P&C Building Committee investigated ways to renovate the girls and boys bathrooms.
At the November 2018 general P&C meeting, it was decided to allocate $150,000 towards an upgrade of the toilet facilities. It was considered that the future demolition of the building as part of the Chatswood Education Precinct Upgrade will not be for several years and it would be great if the existing students could get some benefit of upgraded facilities.
Over the 2018 summer vacation, stage 1 of the project was completed.
