The Parents and Friends Association

What We Do 

Each Catholic School in Queensland has a Parents & Friends Association (P&F) that includes all parents and carers of enrolled students.

The P&F is vital for providing a structure and support network for parental involvement in school activities and feedback to the College Leadership Team.

It benefits students by enhancing resources and facilities while fostering community among parents.

Engaged parents contribute positively to their children's education, making the P&F a pathway for collaboration with teachers and the Principal.

Participation in P&F meetings, which are open throughout the year, is encouraged for all parents from both Assisi and Padua, as it helps build connections and share ideas.
