From Your P&F
Notice of Meeting and Request for Executive Nominations
P&F is a wonderful way to be connected to your Marist family across your journey at the College. Thank you to everyone who has been involved throughout 2023.
The Marist P&F enjoys stability through the generosity of many capable hands, carrying jobs of all shapes and sizes. We are sure you would enjoy being part of it, if you are not already!
Meeting Details
The Annual General Meeting and first General Meeting of your Parents & Friends Association will be held in The Tower Building, Monday 12 February 2024 at 7:00pm.
Nominations for Executive Positions
A key item on the AGM agenda is the election of Executive positions (President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary) for 2024. All members of the executive retire from office during the AGM, with positions declared open. Elections for these positions are then held from the nominations received. Nominations can come from any member of the P&F. Individuals are also eligible for re-election or re-appointment under the terms of the Constitution should they wish to re-nominate for a successive term.
We presently have one nomination for each of President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary. If you are interested in nominating for an Executive Role in 2024, nominations will be accepted up to Sunday 4 February, 2024. A Nominations Form is required to be completed, which can be obtained from the P&F Secretary at:
secretarypandf@marash.qld.edu.au
Requests for agenda items can also be sent to the P&F Secretary. We ask if these can be submitted by Friday 9 February, 2024 to allow for adequate preparation.
How Do I Find Out More?
Any of the 2023 Executive committee would be happy to discuss P&F roles with you (Exec positions, or the Subcommittees).

For 2024, we are particularly interested in hearing from anyone with an events or marketing background to join the Walkathon team.
P&F is a wonderful opportunity to make a meaningful and lasting contribution to your school community. Don’t hesitate to put your hand up - you won’t regret it!
