• What is the purpose of The Friends Association?

  The Friends’ aim is twofold; firstly to host events and opportunities for parents to connect and engage with each other including providing additional support of College operations, and secondly to raise money for the benefit of student activities at the College.

• Who makes up The Friends Association?

  All parents are automatically members of The Friends Association; the small per family annual subscription is a compulsory part of school fees. We also welcome volunteers to assist at our events, please register your interest on our 'Become a Volunteer' page.
