Parents and Friends 

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.

FACEBOOK SFDS School Social & Community Hub

A lot of parents don’t know that we have a social and community hub on Facebook for all parents to stay up to date with all the upcoming events and a one stop spot for information.

Please join! Mums and dads, all are welcome.

Mother’s Day morning tea ran by the P&F crew was a great success it was so beautiful to see mothers and grandmothers in our beautiful school community be celebrated this morning. It was also a wonderful opportunity for all mums in our community to get together and have a chat and laugh together. We hope this to see many of our mums join us in the P & F team after such a lovely morning.

A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE INVOLVED IN SETTNG UP, PACKING DOWN AND TO ALL THAT MADE TODAY POSIBLE BY MAKING AND BRING FOOD IN THIS MORNING. WE COULD’NT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU.

The Mother’s Day stall was a great success, children had the opportunity to purchase a lovely gift for their mum and grandma. It was very special to see the excitement on the children’s faces as they made their choices, whilst thinking about what their mum would like. 

Another big THANK YOU to all involved in setting up and organising the Mother’s Day stall. And an extra big shout out to all the volunteers who took time out of their day to run the Mother’s Day stall and be personal shoppers to the children. We couldn’t have done it without you so THANK YOU!!!

The PFA run a regular Second Hand Uniform Shop. These uniforms have kindly been donated by families who have moved away or when students have outgrown their uniforms. All items are $5. Dates will be listed in the newsletter throughout the year.

Please donate uniform! If you can donate uniform in good condition to the school, we would be very grateful as the funds raised go directly back into the school community. Donations of laundered uniform can be made at the school office.

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 PFA host special events for our students throughout the year: fun lunches, raffles, sausage sizzles, discos and various other fantastic events!

All parent helpers need to have a valid Working with Children Check. You can apply for this online:
