St Michael's Parents and Friends Association (P&F) plays a vital part in supporting the school community. It is a forum for parents to contribute suggestions and ideas that assist the principal's role of building a welcoming and supportive community.

These events would not happen without the help of volunteers. Every family at the school is automatically a part of the P&F and is invited to attend meetings, events and help where possible. The level of involvement in the P&F is up to the individual and can range from being a committee member, class coordinator, attending meetings, or helping out when there is an event on.

Every P&F fundraiser is run entirely by volunteers - from the big jobs of organising events, right down to baking cupcakes or manning a sausage sizzle for an hour. No amount of support is too great or small.
In recent years, money raised by P&F has been used to purchase library resources, update technology (ipads in 2018 and 2019), contributing towards the cost of buses for:-

• Year 5 Mary MacKillop excursion,
• bus for Year 6 camp; and
• bus to 2019 Surf Education.  

The assistance with the cost of buses, greatly helps make the cost of these excursions affordable.

The P&F would like to take this opportunity thank you for your donations & support, and would like to seek your feedback on fundraising efforts.

Accompanying this newsletter is a P&F Feedback form which we ask that all families complete and return.  We understand that family life can get very busy, it should not take long to complete the survey.    We ask that the form is returned to the School by Monday 28th October.
