Parents & Friends Association

Jason Barron, P&F President

It’s an honour to step into the role as President of the Parents & Friends Association (P&F) and I extend a warm welcome to our school community. A vibrant community is the heart of our school and the P&F look forward to an exciting year ahead working alongside you to enrich your family's experience at John Wollaston.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank outgoing President and long-standing member of our Committee, Sonja Reynolds whose tireless dedication, support and invaluable guidance have left a lasting impact on our school community as well as on past and present committee members. We are immensely grateful for your leadership, and gracious decision to continue as President to help the Committee transition through the COVID-19 period. With your time at John Wollaston coming to an end, we wish you and your family all the best for the bright and exciting new chapters that lie ahead!
