As parents and carers, you are automatically part of the P&F.  Meetings are held once per month and are attended by either the Principal or Deputies who present the school report regarding new initiatives and programs.  We provide social activities for the boys as well as being a huge support for major fundraising events and College functions.  We invite you to come along to a meeting to find out more!  All are welcome and refreshments and snacks are provided. Can’t make it to meetings? Our Parents & Friends also welcome volunteers who wish to help out at College events.

Our Care Group was formed to assist families during times of crisis. Each year this group has done wonderful work supporting those in our community by providing meals and supplies when they are most in need. For families in crisis, there is often little time to prepare meals for those at home and the Care Group aims to ease the burden in difficult times. Anyone who is willing to assist is most welcome to contact Adrienne Tuck, Principal’s Personal Assistant via email.

The Mens Association working bees are a great opportunity for fathers to become involved in College life. The group contributes to the maintenance and beautification of College grounds and buildings along with other hands-on roles at the College. A team of volunteers work on a roster one Sunday per month from 9:00am -11:00am, followed by a BBQ and refreshments. This group develops friendships between fathers, in some cases grandfathers of students, as well as past students of the College. A great opportunity to meet some of the men of SJC, lend a hand and become involved.

Our canteen relies on our volunteers to help serve over 1500 hungry boys! Volunteers are placed on a roster and come along once per month from 10:30am - 1:30pm to help with the preparation and serving of student lunches. You will have the opportunity to get to know one another and have fun, with many catch-ups between recess and lunch. Alternatively, any time you are able to give is very much appreciated.
