- helping the school financially by raising funds for specific/general purposes.
- members helping to organise the school maintenance.

Meetings are usually held once a month on a Monday evening at 7.00pm. Dates are advertised in the weekly newsletter and the Parent Calendar. All parents are welcome and encouraged to attend.

Notes from the P&F
Monthly General Meetings
The P&F holds monthly General Meetings, chaired by the President or Vice-President, who are supported by a Secretary, Treasurer, Fundraising Officer, Social and Pastoral Officer and Gardens and Grounds Officer. Each of these Executive Committee Members, and all Ordinary Members, have the opportunity to attend the meetings and report on and/or discuss any pertinent issues.
Please note that all parents and carers at QoP are automatically Ordinary Members of the P&F, and your ideas, thoughts and opinions are valued. P&F meetings are a great forum to have an open, honest and considerate discussion between parents, carers and the leadership of the School.
Come along and meet some friends you haven’t met yet! You will also get the chance to have a chat to the Principal and the Executive Committee.
