Parents and Friends Association

The Parents and Friends Association is a voluntary organisation, run by an energetic committee, that supports the College in the promotion of generosity, community-building, and hospitality. Its primary focus is friendship-raising.

The Parents and Friends Association connects the community while also seeking to raise funds for various College projects through the hosting of events and fundraising initiatives. Some of these events include the Ignatius Fair, College Ball (biennial), Athletics/Sports Day, Bake Stall, and Christmas Carols Evening (biennial).

The Committee comprises a President, Vice-Presidents for the Senior and Junior Schools, Secretary, Treasurer, and Parent Rep Coordinator, with parent members also drawn from across all three campuses.

The Association warmly welcomes members of the school community to participate in the activities coordinated by the Parents and Friends Committee, either as a member of the committee or as an event volunteer.

Catholic School Parents South Australia (CSPSA) promotes and supports parents and families by providing a voice for education and issues which affect their children.

CSPSA is an advocate for the families, parents and carers of children in Catholic schools, Catholic early learning centres and pre-schools.

The organisation believes that:

• All children have the opportunity to access a quality education, allowing each child to reach his or her potential; and
• School and family collaboration is essential to successful spiritual, academic and developmental growth.

CSPSA aims to build an environment where parents can be empowered to take an active role as the primary educators of their children.
