As we begin 2025, we are thrilled to extend a warm invitation to all families to join our Parents and Friends (P&F) Group and our School Advisory Council. Both of these groups are pivotal to the success of our College community; working in partnership with our College to ensure the very best for our students, families and wider community.

Parents and Friends
Our Parents and Friends plays a vital role in fostering a strong sense of community and connection within our College. It is through the collaborative efforts of our dedicated parents and friends that we can create a nurturing and supportive environment for our students. Your involvement in the P&F not only enriches the educational experience of your children but also strengthens the bonds that make St Mary’s College a special place.


This year, we are particularly excited to celebrate the wonderful connections and community spirit that our P&F helps to build. By joining the P&F, you will have the opportunity to:

  •  Participate in school events and activities: From organising fundraisers to supporting school functions, your contributions will make a significant impact.

We are delighted to invite both new and returning families to a special Afternoon Tea Event before the Annual Community meeting this year. This event will be held on Friday 14th March at 2:15pm in our Primary Staff Lounge . It will be a wonderful opportunity to meet other parents and friends, enjoy a delicious afternoon high tea, and learn more about how you can get involved with the P&F.

We invite you to attend our P&F Annual Community Meeting on Monday 17th March 2025, in our Secondary Staff Lounge. This meeting will be an excellent opportunity to learn more about the P&F, meet other parents and friends, and discover how you can get involved.
