GENERAL INFORMATION PARENTS AND FRIENDS ASSOCIATION Like most schools, The Friends’ School has a Parents and Friends Association. All parents are automatically members of the Association. Meetings are usually held on the third Tuesday of each month in term time. Although there is an Executive Committee, everyone is encouraged to attend, as the meetings are an excellent way to gain first hand information about the Association’s operations and activities. The Principal or his representative presents a report at each meeting, so that all who attend are kept fully informed about School developments as appropriate. Apart from fund raising activities, such as the Annual Fair and the Biennial Auction, the Association is active in organising a wide variety of events, such as information evenings, family conferences and social activities, where parents and teachers can come together to discuss their children’s education and being a parent and all that entails. Money raised goes to fulfil a wide cross-section of needs, not just items of equipment, but to support musical and cultural events. The Annual General Meeting is held in August and the constitution requires a regular change of members of the Executive.

The Historical Collection is situated in the Holdsworth Room in the Hobartville building at Commercial Road. The Archivist welcomes visitors, gifts and offers of assistance from members of the wider School community. The Friends’ School – Morris Handbook 2012, version 0.0.1 22
