Parents & Friends Advisory Group

​​​​The OLA Parents & Friends Advisory Group (P&F) is a volunteer organisation made up of parents and carers who are passionate about supporting our school community. The Group meets on the second Tuesday of each month in the Collaboration Space, fostering strong partnerships between families and school staff while upholding the principles of Catholic education.

How the P&F Supports OLA

The P&F Advisory Group contributes to school life in practical and meaningful ways by:

  • Strengthening community engagement through regular meetings and open collaboration with school leadership and staff.
  • Enhancing student learning and wellbeing by funding resources and initiatives that benefit students.
  • Creating opportunities for connection with inclusive, family-friendly events throughout the year.

Funding and Fundraising

The P&F derives its income from fundraising and grant activities. Fundraising and grants enable additional projects and improvements, focusing on specific areas identified for development within the school.

Community Events

The P&F organises a range of vibrant social events that bring our community together. Popular gatherings include the Movie Night, School Discos, and the Trivia Night. These events are only possible thanks to the generous volunteer support of our families—everyone is welcome to get involved.

P&F Structure

The OLA P&F Advisory Group is made up of an Executive and Committee Members who work collaboratively to plan initiatives, and coordinate events. New volunteers are always encouraged; whether you can assist occasionally or take on a regular role, your contribution makes a real difference.
