The Yarranlea Primary School Parents and Friends (P&F) Committee

The Yarranlea P&F committee is a group of parents and friends who assist in supporting the school to enhance our children’s education and experience.

Our aim is to provide feedback and advice on school policies and activities, assist in providing resources to enhance student learning and improve the school environment.

Our small independent primary school benefits from a working P&F committee who assist in supporting the school to enhance our children’s education and experience.

As we are a small community with limited resources, assistance and participation on the committee is greatly needed and highly valued.

What are the P&F’s goals?

The Yarranlea P&F Committee works in productive partnership with the principal and the community to promote the interests of the school, and facilitate its development and further improvement, to achieve the best possible outcomes for students.

The P&F committee’s main aim is to:

  • Provide feedback and advice on school policies and activities.
  • Assist in providing resources to enhance student learning and improve the school environment (often by raising funds).
  • Provide opportunities for parents to be involved in their child’s education and the broader school community.

The P&F committee membership is open to any adult who wants to contribute to the school, including the parents of children attending the school, the school’s teachers and staff, and interested people in the wider community.
