What do the P&F roles involve?

To help you consider contributing your time to help our P&F function an overview of each role is provided below: 

President (1pax) - The president is the heart of the committee, guiding the team and fostering collaboration. They lead with vision, facilitating discussions that help set goals, inspire new ideas, and drive positive change for our school community. They work closely with the principal and school leadership and the Parish Priest to ensure the school is achieving all it can both within its own community and in our parish. They represent the school in our community and other forums of schools across the diocese. They preside over all P&F meetings and provide leadership and direction to the P&F Team and its subcommittees. They have an open and collaborative relationship with each member of the Team and Sub-committees to ensure the goals are achieved, and needs and issues are addressed. 

Vice President (1pax) Supports the President and helps coordinate the work of the P&F Team and its subcommittees. The Vice President contributes to planning, encourages participation and collaboration, and helps ensure that the team's priorities and initiatives progress effectively.

Treasurer & Co-Treasurer (2 pax) More than just a "numbers person," the treasurers are our financial navigators. They manage budgets, oversee fundraising income and expenditure, and ensure funds are used effectively to support our school community. Some accounting or bookkeeping experience is highly desirable for this role. We deliberately seek two people to share this role to ensure that the operational aspects and annual audit process are managed well and to manage the financial administration. 

Secretary (1pax) The secretary plays a dual role as both the organiser and communicator for the P&F Team. In addition to traditional secretariat duties—such as preparing agendas, arranging P&F meetings and forums, and recording and distributing minutes—the secretary ensures timely and effective communication between the P&F Team, the school, and its community.

DBB - Catholic School Parent Rep (1pax) This role represents the interest of our parents to the Schools Office at DBB, to ensure our voice is present in decisions they make about our schools in the diocese. The representative attends quarterly meetings to discuss strategic and operational issues at play at DBB and take back key messages and updates to our parents as they relate to how we plan and deliver our events that support the school, most notably through fundraising. 

Class Parent Coordinators (3pax) This team is all about connection and clarity. Working hand in hand with the secretary and president, the class parent coordinators ensure key messages, updates, and requests are shared seamlessly with class parents. They also support class parents to foster a sense of community and belonging for our families. They guide the organisation of events by each class and help to coordinate Class Parent catchups during the year. A call for our 2026 Class Parents will be made in week 8 of term 4.

Green Team Coordinator (1pax): This role champions our school’s sustainability efforts, working closely with our school leadership to support our Green Team in growing the number of initiatives they run at school. Our Green Team manage our school veggie pods and bee hotel and coordinates groundskeeping projects. They want to foster environmental awareness among students with initiatives like waste free Wednesday. They inspire hands-on learning about sustainability and help our school community embrace eco-friendly practices and a love for nature. Our coordinator helps them plan for these activities, sources supporters to contribute time to achieving them, and regularly communicates their efforts to the school community. 

Yearbook Lead (1pax - with a team to support): The yearbook lead is the creative storyteller of our school community, capturing the highlights, memories, and milestones of the year. They coordinate a team of parents who collectively contribute to the yearbook's content development and design process and ensure every student's story is celebrated in a beautiful keepsake for all to treasure.

Uniform Swap Shop Coordinator (1pax - with additional volunteers called on when needed): The uniform swap shop coordinator manages our sustainable solution for school uniforms, organising and facilitating the exchange of pre-loved items once per term, plus at the Kindy orientation. They help collect pre-loved uniforms at key times during the year, keep the stock in check and make it available for our regular Uniform Swaps during the year.

We encourage parents to consider getting involved. Whether you have experience relevant to a particular role or simply want to contribute to our school community, your time and ideas are valued. We look forward to seeing you at the Term 4 Forum and AGM.
