Handsworth Parent Advisory Council (HPAC) 2025-2026
Welcome to the HPAC Page
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 information and resources you need, and identifies opportunities where you can make a difference to the school.
The Handsworth Parent Advisory Council (HPAC) would like to extend a warm welcome to returning and new students, staff, and parents.
We strive to provide parents/guardians of Handsworth Students with timely communication and keep them informed about HPAC activities. HPAC is proud to maintain regular communication with the Handsworth administration and we want to hear from parents/guardians to make sure we represent you well. Information can be found on the Handsworth PAC Facebook Page, as well as on Instagram @Handsworth PAC and Twitter @HandsworthPAC.

We want you to know that HPAC remains 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,
