PFA

Parents and Friends Association (PFA)

The PFA is so excited to share with you all the things we have been brewing up for a fantastic 2026. Here’s a sneak peek:

More about us…

The “PFA” is the Parents and Friends Association made up of a group of volunteer parents and carers of children who attend Ivanhoe Primary School, together with a few staff members. Our purpose is to organise social events throughout the year which provide us with an opportunity to build connectedness and a sense of belonging in the IPS community. Any fundraising which results from these events is an added bonus and is applied to implement various building, playground and equipment improvements throughout the school. 

We will share specific fundraising goals and purposes as each event approaches.

Would you like to be involved?

It’s not too late! Please email Sue Kelly sue.kelly@education.vic.gov.au if you are interested in joining the PFA on its journey to making 2026 a fun-filled year!
