Parents and Friends
Dear families,
Welcome back to the school year to our new and existing families! It's been lovely to see all the kids settle into the school year well.
On the P&F page you will find information about current and upcoming fundraisers and events, reviews of fundraisers and events and information about volunteering, the Committee and upcoming meetings.
We aim to hold social activities to build on the community spirit and organise fundraisers to provide additional resources.
Feel free to contact us via email parentsandfriends@sbshepparton.catholic.edu.au anytime with any questions or suggestions.

All families are welcome to attend to meet other families and be involved in discussion around planning and assisting with school events and fundraisers.
Younger children are welcome to attend with parents.
For future meetings meeting days and times may vary to suit families if needed, previously evening meetings have also been held. Please let us know if you have a preference.
Please try to come along to show your support for the P&F. The P&F can only operate with input from the school community.
Expressions of interest will be called for Committee Members – please contact us to have a chat if you are interested in joining the Committee or are interested in volunteering.
Being a part of the Committee isn’t a large time commitment and there are no set requirements of a member.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions/ suggestions.
Register to be a volunteer
If you have a few hours to spare during the year and would like to get involved in the school community please register your interest to be involved as a parent helper through the P&F.
You can register your interest via email parentsandfriends@sbshepparton.catholic.edu.au.
*Volunteer requirements*
Volunteers must hold a current Working With Children’s Check. These details must be supplied to the school office to also be held confidentially. WWCC’s are free for volunteers, you can apply through the Working With Children Check Victoria website.
Business interest
Do you own/run a business, or know of a business, that may be interested in being involved in supporting the school community through fundraisers, sponsorship, in-kind support or at events?
Please contact the P&F by email to register your interest. We are very interested in working with our school community and building connections with family businesses.
