The Aim of the Parents & Friends Association
(extract from Parents & Friends Association Constitution adopted at the AGM of March 3, 2008)
The Parents & Friends Association recognises and values the role that parents and carers play in the education of their children and aims to strengthen the partnership between family, school, parish and the wider community for the benefit of their children’s overall development and learning.
The Parents & Friends Association will endeavour to do this by:
- Reaching out to all associated with the College to build a friendly and welcoming faith filled community which seeks to involve all its members.
- Providing a parental perspective to assist the Principal and the College Board in decision making.
- Raising funds to provide resources and opportunities for enriching the learning environment of the College.
- Supporting parents and carers in their parental responsibilities and involvement in their children’s learning at home and school.
- Providing opportunities for parents and carers to gain insights into the life of the College, current developments in education and Catholic education in particular; and
- Providing a means for parents and carers to affiliate with the Diocesan Parent Council and have a voice at diocesan level and with the Council of Catholic School Parents (NSW) at state level.
The Parents & Friends Association also assists:
- College staff in the development of College policies through consultation processes;
- In the provision of educational equipment and resources for the College;
- In activities such as Working bees for the maintenance of the school grounds and plant; The organisation of social activities to bring parents together to enhance the community of the College, and Liaison with the parish community or communities to develop effective relationships to further support the faith development of students.
