Highgate Parents & Friends

Connecting our community

The Highgate Parents & Friends Committee (P&F) focuses on fostering community engagement through events, communication, and involvement of parents, carers, and the wider community.

Our key activities to build community and foster communication include:

• Regular Meetings: We meet twice a term to plan and organise events.
• Community-Building Events (example schedule below):
  • Term 1: Year Level BBQs and Class Rep Organised Class Catch-ups
  • Term 2: Mother’s Day event
  • Term 3: Father’s Day event & Quiz Night
  • Term 4: Cinema Afternoon
• Class Representative Role: We support class reps to communicate school-wide initiatives at the classroom level and encourage catch-ups within year levels and classes.

Our secondary goal is fundraising:

• Fundraising goals are set annually based on the needs of the school and its community.
• Funds raised help provide additional resources and opportunities for our children.
