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).
Parents and Citizens Association (P&C)
A forum through which parents can voice their concerns and give support to any matter involving their daughter at the school. It is also a forum through which the teaching staff can obtain input into the policies and procedures used to effectively run the school. It also acts as a fund-raiser for needed projects that would not be otherwise funded by Government allocations. Our main funding comes from the parents and citizens association (P&C) contribution associated with annual school contributions.
School financial support: Apart from funding itemised projects, the P&C association donates funds to the School Speech Day (held at Sydney Town Hall), and provides financial assistance to a Year 12 student from the school to enable her to pursue further education.
Joining the P&C a great way to meet other families, get involved and contribute to our school's future. We would love to have you on board!
P&C meetings
Our next P & C meeting is the AGM to be held on the 19 November 2025 at 7pm. Further information will be in our Torch Newsletter.

About Us
Hornsby Girls High School has an active and vibrant Old Girls' Union (OGU) providing the link between the School and its past students, beyond the School gate.
The primary aim of the OGU is to promote and foster the interests of the School and preserve its rich heritage.
The OGU is committed to maintaining a strong, valued tie with the School today and continues to liaise with the Principal, staff and present students.
The OGU is dedicated to keep the School history relevant and alive – maintaining, cataloguing and preserving a decade by decade extensive data base and physical collection of School archival memorabilia and documents.
The OGU is involved in many aspects of School life today, from funding projects and providing funds for annual Speech Day prizes and awards to participating in School functions. Being a part of the OGU provides opportunities to share skills and talents. Old girls have returned to School as mentors, speakers or as guests of current students.
The OGU sends out a biannual newsletter, titled ‘Nostalgia', to Life Members, providing news of old girls and present girls, details of forthcoming OGU and School events and updating progress on OGU projects.
Membership
The OGU maintains a data base of Life Members, and we are delighted to assist reunion organisers to contact and stay in touch with school friends forever. Many Year Reunions are held locally, nationally and internationally. If you would like to organise your Year Reunion please contact the OGU Secretary (details below).
Invitations to join the OGU are extended to Year 12 and all past students are invited to renew their association with the School as a Life Member of the Old Girls' Union. As a member you will become part of a network of women connected once again by the motto ‘Faith with Fortitude'.
Life Membership is $75. Application forms for Life Membership are available by emailing the OGU Secretary, Sue Hungerford at hungerfordb@bigpond.com.au or, by phoning the School Secretary on (02) 9476 5711, to leave contact details for the OGU Secretary to return the call.
