Parents and Friends Association  

Next PFA meeting - Monday 6 June  - All welcome

Mothers’ Day Breakfast thank you 

What a wonderful way to “open” the new school building - the first event in the space was the Mothers’ Day Breakfast, with over 200 parents, students and teachers present. Many thanks to over 50 volunteers that contributed to the breakfast. A special thanks to Vittoria O'Brien for her vision to create a stunning environment and to Tony Appleby for his efforts to get us all dancing for our mums!

Make sure you join us and volunteer to make the Fathers’ Day Breakfast in September another fun school community opportunity.

Year 7 Parent Social Group

Make connection with other parents from year 7! Connecting with other parents at secondary school is not always easy so this a wonderful opportunity: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSewc7Vk9uyJwdqq8Np1J9NxOXzdp4y3oAwvhxus7ZMMxdPY-g/viewform

Second Hand Uniform Shop

Remember to support the shop by donating/selling and buying school clothes from there and support the school community. We’re grateful to May-Na and Sophia who are organising the shop! They are looking for another volunteer who would be able to help out at the shop on an an occasional basis on Friday afternoons during school time. If you could help out, contact May-Na and Sophia via email:

Year Level Parent Representatives

In the spirit of creating community and connection after an extended period of social disruption, the PFA would like to introduce the exciting new initiative of  “Year Level Parent Representative(s)”.  The vision for this essentially involves a minimum of 2 parent volunteers from each year level to be the drivers of parent & carer social events for their year level. It can be whatever you want it to be based on the level of energy and vibe from your year level. For example the Year Level Parent Reps may like to host 1 or 2 evening events per year at a nearby local venue, or organise a family picnic/bbq at a local park, or a coffee catch-up once a term. This will be especially exciting for the Year 12 group as graduation approaches, to keep the connections going! After an immensely successful recent Year 7 Parent social event hosted at Bin 3 Balwyn, it's the perfect opportunity to share this great success with all the other year levels so they can also enjoy creating some positive connections. As Year Level Parent Reps, you will have the full support of the PFA to help establish and facilitate your ideas, initiatives and events. To register your interest in becoming a Year Level Parent Representative, please contact Andrew Gifford 0490 831 427 or Vittoria O’Brien (vittoriaobrien1@gmail.com; 0419588914)
