Parents' Association

The John XXIII College Parents' Association meetings are held every Term. We encourage all parents to attend to hear updates from our Parent Committees and the College Leadership Team and vote on how our Parents' Association funds are spent. These meetings are a cornerstone of our vibrant John XXIII College community, offering a valuable platform for parents to come together, stay informed, and actively shape the future of our college.

We will hold our meetings on the Tuesday of Week 6 in each Term. The meeting dates for 2024 are noted below for your convenience, along with the associated Funding and Agenda Proposal deadlines.

The John XXIII College Parents' Association also has funds available for proposals that meet the association’s objectives by promoting social interaction or providing material assistance to the College. Successful proposals must show they either benefit students in all years or, if only specific years, support previously neglected years to maintain a balance of benefit across the College. Proposals can be submitted by staff or parents. 

We encourage all nominators to ensure their proposals fulfil all criteria on the proposal form, as the committee can only approve proposals that meet the criteria. Once the committee approves a proposal, it can be put forward for a vote at the PA meeting in Week 6.

The Funding Proposal form has been simplified and updated to an electronic form that is available here. As always, if you have any queries about funding proposals or other suggestions for the Parents’ Association, please let us know via email.
