St Mary's Catholic School PTFA is a friendly, pro-active group of Mums, Dads and Grandparents who create memorable events and experiences for our children while delivering essential fundraising for St Mary's School. Our school needs a strong ongoing community to support our fundraising requirements. All events are executed in line with our school values. Your commitment need only be as much or as little as you can give. The PTFA meet once a month to plan fundraising events such as discos, movie nights, pizza lunches, sausage sizzles, Graduation Mass and many more fun events. The PTFA is a great way to get involved in the school and to set a great example for your child/children. We also have a helpers list of parents who are always happy to assist with baking or assistance at events. 'Every little bit helps'.
