About our P&C
The Neville Bonner Primary School Parents and Citizens Association (P&C) is a pivotal organisation in the engagement of parents and carers in the life of the school. The P&C acts both as a fundraising body and community-building organisation, with all members of the school community automatically members of the P&C, and encouraged to participate in events and activities. We also participate in forums and activities run by the ACT Council of Parents and Citizens Associations. Doing so helps to identify issues and ideas for improving public education and assists the Council to work with decision-makers on education policy in the ACT. You can find our Constitution and Annual Reports below (please note no annual report was developed for 2021).

Return-IT (10c cans and bottles)
The process is:
- Place your bags of cans or bottles into a semi-see-through bag (they need to see it's not general household rubbish), a normal kitchen tidy bag is okay.
- Enter the phone number (or scan QR code) at the return point, follow the remainder of the instructions and attach the printed sticker to the bag.
- Deposit the bag(s) into the hopper.
- The bag(s) will be collected by the Return-It/CDS group and counted at one of their facilities (during a quiet period of their day).
- A notice of deposit will be received by the P&C - Thank you!!!
There are two return points located close to school:
- Gungahlin - O'Brien Place (near the carwash, Gungahlin Vet and Goodyear tyres)
- Amaroo (near the school oval off Horsepark Drive)
The returns generated from the scheme will assist the P&C to support the school.
