Friends of Primary Coordinator (Shared Role) - Primary Parent Volunteers Required 

Our P&F Association are looking for volunteers for the shared role of Friends of Primary Coordinator for 2024. Depending on interest, and appreciating everyone's busy lives, this shared role could include a team of two or more parents and carers. 

Our Friends of Primary provide vital support to the College in terms of friend-raising and organising social events. Two key initiatives they are driving in Term 2 include the Mother's Day Stall and the Primary School Disco, as well as the Father's Day Stall in Term 3.  

Please reach out to Audrey Fellowes, via afellowes@clayfield.qld.edu.au, if you are interested in learning more about this shared role. 

Mother's Day Stall

The Friends of Primary have been hard at work preparing wonderful gifts for our Mother's Day Stall. Items were advertised in the Clayfield Collective Newsletter last term and can be found below. 

This year, the P&F Mother's Day Stall is cashless! You can pre-purchase tokens for your child/ren (Primary and Secondary) to spend at the stall on Wednesday 1 May 2024.

A big thank you to the Friends of Primary for their organisation of this special initiative for our community.
