HPAC Parent Advisory Council
As a community of parents, the HPAC works with school administrators and staff to support student success.
This page provides parents with news about HPAC activities and events, connects you with the information and resources you need, and identifies opportunities where you can make a difference at the school.
We strive to keep Handsworth parents and guardians informed about HPAC activities with timely communication. HPAC is proud to maintain regular communication with the Handsworth administration, and we want to hear from parents and guardians so we can represent you well. Follow us on Instagram @HandsworthPAC.
HPAC is committed to our school's vision statement:
"The Handsworth Community develops empowered, innovative, and compassionate learners who serve and lead with curiosity and integrity."
Wishing you and your families a safe, supported, and successful year.
Sincerely,
The HPAC Executive
