From Your P&F

Marist Card and Games Day

The P&F will be hosting our next Marist Card & Games Day on Wednesday 7 October, which is straight after the holidays. It's our Christmas-themed event! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

The Card and Games Day is a community event held in the Br Cyprian Pavilion where attendees (typically retirees) bring friends to enjoy a day of playing cards (e.g, Bridge), Mahjong, Scrabble or other board games, while savouring morning tea provided by Marist families and lunch provided by the College kitchen.

To make these days a success, the P&F needs parent helpers to assist with baking or supplying items for morning tea and/or attending on the day to set up and serve our guests.

If you can assist with sweet or savoury baked goods (homemade or store bought), they can be dropped off at the Br Cyprian Pavilion from 8:00am on the day, or between 1:30pm and 3:30pm the day before. Disposable containers are preferred but other containers will be sent back to Student Administration if not collected on the day (please ensure your name is on all containers). Please either pre‑cut items or ensure that they can be cut into bitesize pieces.

Volunteers for the day are needed for the following sessions:

8:00am – 10:30am – setup and serve morning tea
11:30am – 1:30pm – setup and serve lunch
2:00pm – 2:30pm – final clean-up and pack down

Volunteers are most welcome to assist for all or part of the day. It is a great way to meet other parents from many different year levels, as well as contributing to an enjoyable day for guests from the community.

If you are able to help by baking/supplying items for morning tea or assisting on the day, please contact Sue Hartfiel (0423 076 603) or Amy Hammon (0416 501 417) at email: CardDayPandF@marash.qld.edu.au.

Volunteering in 2026

To keep our students safe and comply with student protection legislation and policies, prior to parents commencing in an on-site volunteering role, the College must be satisfied that parent volunteers are not a restricted person. As such, all prospective 2026 College parent volunteers are asked to complete this Marist College Ashgrove Volunteer Registration & Declaration Form. This information will be confidentially and securely stored with the College's Human Resources Team. Any volunteer at the College who is not a parent of a current student will need a volunteer blue card with details given to our HR team (hr@marash.qld.edu.au).
