Exciting changes to our Parents & Friends Association from 2026

Dear Parents and Carers,

 

We would like to share some exciting news about the future of our Parents & Friends Association (P&F). From next year, our P&F will look a little different, with a new structure designed to make it easier and more enjoyable for parents to get involved.

 

Rather than holding regular, formal P&F meetings, the committee will be made up of several sub-committees that focus on specific events and activities throughout the year. 

These smaller groups will meet informally at times that suit their members, making it simpler for parents to participate without the commitment of attending ongoing meetings.

 

Each sub-committee will be supported by an experienced P&F member, who will help guide planning and communication. Some examples of these groups may include:

 

  • Mother’s Day Breakfast

  • Father’s Day Breakfast

  • Mother's Day Stall 

  • Father's Day Stall 

  • Book Club 

  • Colour Fun Run

  • Easter Egg Raffle 

  • Welcome BBQ

  • Canteen & Treat Days 

  • School Disco 

  • Christmas Event, etc…

 

We warmly invite all parents and carers to be part of one (or more!) of these sub-committees. Whether you can help with planning, set-up, or just lend a hand on the day, your contribution will make a real difference to our school community.

 

We believe this new approach will allow for greater flexibility, more opportunities to connect, and a fun, collaborative way to support our school events.

 

In addition, we are seeking Expressions of Interest for the positions of President of the Parents & FriendsCommittee and Vice-President of the Parents and Friends Committee. If you are interested in applying or would like more information for either for the President or Vice-President positions, please contact: 

parentsfriends@smmaribyrnong.catholic.edu.au

 

Further details about how to join a sub-committee will be shared early next year. In the meantime, if you’re interested in being part of a team or would like to learn more, please feel free to contact parentsfriends@smmaribyrnong.catholic.edu.au 

 

Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm — together we can make next year another wonderful one for our students and families!
