St Mary’s has a very active and successful Parents & Friends Association, as all the parents at St Marys are automatically P&F Committee members. The P&F is a subcommittee of the School Board. An executive consisting of eight parents manage the Association, supported by the rest of the school community.

All members of the school community can attend the P&F meetings. Children are also welcome. The duration of each meeting is kept to approximately an hour.

The main purpose of the association is to:

• Create an avenue for social gatherings to build the school community
• Organise and promote fundraising opportunities within the school
• Promote and assist with school working bees

The P&F has an active social calendar, holding a social event each term. Events have included Family Fun Nights, Movie Nights, Discos and Colour Runs.

Other fundraising events include an Easter Raffle and the Christmas Raffle.

The P&F also coordinates a Mother’s Day and Father’s Day stall.

For further information about the P&F please contact the front office.
