Parents and Friends Association

The Bishop Druitt College Parents and Friends Association is an organisation that supports the aims and objectives of the College. It does so through the promotion of fundraising, fellowship, friendship and fun.

Meetings

All general meetings are held in the Senior Students Common Room, commencing at 6.30 pm on the third Monday of each month (except in school or public holidays). Everyone is welcome, but to vote on motions individuals must be a member of the Association.

Membership

Application forms for membership are available via the link below and from the Front Office and Canteen. Membership is free and voting rights commence one meeting after application.

Fundraising Activities

The Association raises funds for the College through various means, including the Melodrama, 100 Club raffle, The Golf Day and most importantly, the College Canteen. Monies are distributed to the College in the form of donations and sponsorships via The Parents and Friends Association Sporting and Cultural Activities Sponsorship funds. These sponsorships mean that if your student is chosen to represent the College at either state or national level the Parents & Friends Association will help to offset some of the costs involved in competing. Application for sponsorships can be made via forms available from the Canteen.

Events

All events, dates and venues will be advised in the College Newsletter and via the College web site. Events include the fundraising activities listed above, along with the Mothers’ Day Stall (May), the Fathers’ Day Stall (September) and the College Carols Service and Anglicare Toys ‘n’ Tucker Appeal (November).

The Parents and Friends Association are a warm and supportive group and all parents are encouraged to become involved.
