Our primary objective is to nurture community and the extraordinary Loreto Kirribilli spirit.
The Parents and Friends Committee, more colloquially known as the 'P&F', is Loreto Kirribilli's parent organising body, with the primary objective of nurturing our community and the extraordinary Loreto Kirribilli spirit!
While the main focus of the P&F is to make social contact with other parents, there is also a highly successful fundraising aspect to our activities, with a big emphasis on having FUN! Events include those specifically designed for the parents of our community, sausage sizzles catering for the children, the well-renowned annual Spring Fair, the Winter Dinner, Luncheons, plus a number of Liturgical events such as the Father Daughter and Mother Daughter Masses.
In addition to all of the main events organised by various P&F sub-committees throughout the year, each year group also enjoys social activities on a smaller scale. Class Parents help to arrange informal cocktail parties in someone’s home, class dinners, morning teas, class picnics, class walks, etc….
Loreto Kirribilli is a very welcoming school, and the P&F endeavours to help parents feel comfortable, and to give them the opportunity to make friends, and to feel a sense of belonging. We believe it is important to share the ‘Loreto Kirribilli Spirit’ around, as we know how infectious it can be!
The P&F and Class Parents meet once a term. The Principal, Dr Nicole Archard and our Head of Junior School, Mrs Sharon Portlock, provide up-to-date reports on the school. This is a wonderful opportunity to understand the vibrant, industrious, rhythm of school life at Loreto Kirribilli. These meeting dates are in the school calendar, on Kirri, and highlighted in the school newsletters.
In Terms 1 and 3 there are two additional Class Parent meetings that follow directly on from the P&F meeting. Sometimes, guest speakers are invited along.
The P&F Executive is made up of a male and female president, a male and female vice-president, a treasurer, an assistant treasurer, a secretary and an assistant secretary. All are appointed by the Principal.
Class Parents volunteer in late Term 3 each year. It is a lot of work, but rewarding for individuals and especially for the school – and a lot of fun along the way!
For more information about past and future events, please see our Calendar and Events.
The P&F supports the school and, by building on that sense of community, we enhance our daughters’ educational journey at Loreto Kirribilli. We welcome you to join us – your assistance is graciously appreciated.
