From Your P&F
Term 2 P&F Meeting
Please note the Term 2 P&F meeting will now be held on Monday 16 June (and not Monday 12 May as per the originally published date).
Marist Card and Games Day – Raffle Coordinator
Are you one of those people who love to shop, excel at wrapping gifts, all the while promoting College spirit?
We are looking for the next Raffle Coordinator (or Coordinators - grab a friend) for Marist Card and Games Day. Our current Coordinator is a Year 12 Mum, so now's the time to shadow her before she leaves at the end of 2025.
Time-commitment-wise, the role requires about one day per term for shopping and wrapping, and the morning of Card and Games Day (always a Wednesday) to deliver the prizes and to oversee raffle ticket sales.
If you are interested in finding out more, please contact Michelle Mead on carddaypandf@marash.qld.edu.au.

The Saturday sports canteens operate as a partnership between MCA staff and parent volunteers. Term 2 is always where we need the greatest number of volunteers to work through the many coffees, burgers, and cold drinks that keep everyone’s Saturday afloat.
The P&F ask that families with a son playing sport consider offering just one hour of service in any canteen, on any week across the term. There are roughly 400 one-hour volunteer slots to fill for each term – plenty of options to work with. Volunteers frequently report how much they enjoy their time.
Come and join us, meet some new people and be part of a vital link for all our AIC families, adding just a little respite to everyone’s Saturday schedule.

(To limit food waste and enable necessary logistics for the day, decisions are made on Friday afternoon to open late, or close early for the coming Saturday’s canteens if volunteer numbers are too low to service the advertised opening hours. Please assist us by signing up by 12:00pm Friday wherever possible.)
Sports Canteens - Volunteer Coordinator
The P&F are seeking someone who can shadow the call for sports canteen volunteers for Term 2 and Term 3 with a view to taking this on in 2026. (Support will also be available in 2026 to ensure an effective transition). Please contact Donna Lynn at Presidentpandf@marash.qld.edu.au if you would like to find out more or are interested in trialling an obligation-free shadow period.
