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.
