P&F Association
The Parents and Friends (P&F) Association is essential in fostering a supportive school community.
Comprising all parents and caregivers, the P&F's primary objective is to benefit the school and its students by providing a formal structure for parent participation, offering feedback to the school's leadership team, and representing parent interests. The P&F encourages parental involvement, which research has shown positively impacts a child's academic success. Regular meetings are held, where parents can share ideas, offer feedback, and contribute to school planning and decision-making. Members can also organize social events, fundraising activities, and other initiatives to support the school and its students. The P&F is a structured and supportive network for parents to engage with the school, contribute to their child's education, and work towards the school's benefit.
