P&F Association
The Parents and Friends (P&F) Association is essential in fostering a supportive school community.
Comprising all parents and caregivers, the P&F's primary objective is to benefit the school and its students by providing a formal structure for parent participation, offering feedback to the school's leadership team, and representing parent interests. The P&F encourages parental involvement, which research has shown positively impacts a child's academic success. Regular meetings are held, where parents can share ideas, offer feedback, and contribute to school planning and decision-making. Members can also organize social events, fundraising activities, and other initiatives to support the school and its students. The P&F is a structured and supportive network for parents to engage with the school, contribute to their child's education, and work towards the school's benefit.

We acknowledge the traditional owners of the land and waters, the Wulgurukaba, and that this country has been a place of learning and ceremony for tens of thousands of years. We also acknowledge the neighbouring language groups as brothers and sisters of the land. We pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging. May we walk gently and peacefully on this land together.
