Last Thursday February 4, the Parents and Friends Committee at Marymede Catholic College held their anunal Prep parents Morning Tea.

This is a popular event each year providing an opportunity for some of the newest Parents in the Marymede Community to meet and have a chat with one another whilst also learning about the P&F Committee and ways in which they support the College.

The Parents & Friends Committee is made up of enthusiastic parents who all share the positive vision and values of the College. Activities of the Parents and Friends Committee may be of a social nature, for fundraising, or assistance with important College events. The Committee also acts as a point of liaison between businesses and organisations in our wider community.

We'd like to acknowledge the P&F for organising this great event and thank all parents in attendance on the day. We strongly encourage any parent/guardian interesting beocming a member of the Committee to contact them via paf@marymede.vic.edu.au.
