Parents & Friends Association
2026 P&F Family Contribution
The Kinross Wolaroi School Parents and Friends Association is a group of parent volunteers who aim to ‘Connect our Community’.
Kinross Wolaroi School is a dynamic school with students from Pre-Kinder to Year 12 from across the nation and abroad. We are boarding families and day families. We are parents, carers, students and staff, all united by our connection to the school.
The focus of the P&F is communication and connection. Our aim is to bring all members of to the School community together, building a friendly, welcoming and inclusive environment - what we like to call ‘Friend-Raising’.
Through our activities, the P&F strengthens relationships between families, the School and the wider community. We organise year-group social events and whole-of-school gatherings that create opportunities for parents to connect, build friendships and engage in School life. This includes events such as year-group parent dinners, casual catch-ups, welcome drinks, and community fundraising events that bring families together in a relaxed and social setting.
We warmly invite you to be an active member of your P&F. It is a great way to meet other parents across the Year Groups. There are many ways to be involved whether you bake a cake, flip a sausage on the BBQ, plan a fundraising event or welcome a new family to the School. These are all activities that help build a strong community for our School.
The P&F charge an annual voluntary contribution of $45 per family. Income from fees and fundraising is used to support social and community activities and to provide resources and opportunities for enriching the learning environment of the School and students. This includes events such as the Parents’ Welcome Morning Tea, World Teachers’ Day Morning Tea and Icebreaker events, as well as Speech Day book prizes and fundraising for identified School projects.
We sincerely thank you for your ongoing support of this valuable organisation. This charge will appear in your next school fee statement on Thursday, 5 March. If you do not wish to contribute the annual subscription fee, please contact the school via email at accountsreceivable@kws.nsw.edu.au
