Parents' Association: Key Commitments and Activities
The Parents' Association is an integral part of the OLMC Community. All College parents and members are welcome to attend meetings and join the Committee.
The Parents' Association of OLMC provides opportunities to the College community to work together in the following areas - Fundraising, Hospitality, Community Spirit and Support. A major objective of the Parents’ Association is to raise funds for various College initiatives and facilities. In recent years, fundraising efforts have resulted in the purchase of furniture for classrooms, bicycles for the PE Department, furniture for the newly renovated chapel and equipment for the Sports Science Laboratory. Fundraising activities have included:
• Trivia Nights
• Bunnings BBQs
• Lucky Fee Raffle
Another primary objective includes providing parents with opportunities to get to know one another, also, enabling families to become more involved with the education of their daughters.
Hospitality
The Parents Association also provides hospitality for the College's various information and social functions including:
• Opening Mass for Year 7 and Welcome Barbeque for New Families
• Mothers' and Fathers' Day events
• School Production events
• Year 12 Welcome Breakfast.
Community Care Committee
The Parents Association provides support to families of our community who have experienced the loss or sickness of a family member. We look after our families through difficult times.
New Members Welcome
The Parents’ Association is always looking for new members. If other commitments preclude membership, any offers of support through other means is always welcomed.
Our Meetings
The Parents’ Association provides opportunities for parents to meet and become involved in the school community. All new parents are welcome to come along to the Parents Association Meetings that are held monthly in Abe’s Lounge. Please check the College Calendar for the scheduled dates.
