Color run was a huge success today, the children were so happy and proud of themselves! 

A big THANK YOU to everyone that helped and contributed to the planning and making today possible for all of the students it was a huge success we raised over $11,000 and there's still time to donate so keep on digging deep. 

All money raised from the raffle tickets will be donated to the Monash Children’s Hospital. We have a final tally which is a whopping $600 raised which we are so proud of. Well done everyone, fantastic effort.

Thank you

We thank the members of the PFA Committee for volunteering their time and talents so that we can enrich the school experience of every SFS student. 

The St Francis de Sales Parents & Friends Association (PFA) is an active part of our wonderful school community. The PFA host special events for our students throughout the year: fun lunches, raffles, sausage sizzles, discos and various other fantastic events! Our fundraising activities are used to directly benefit the students and the school community.  

Get involved!! 

The success of our events relies on the support and participation of parents, carers and the school community. You can get involved by joining the PFA committee, attending our monthly meetings or volunteering to be a parent helper.  Working together allows us to foster a great school community spirit and the students love seeing their parents/carers at school events. 

Parent Helpers 

During the year, we will need the assistance of parent volunteers to help us run various events.  We couldn’t run PFA activities without your support. Thank you in advance for your help, donations and sharing your time with us.
