Supporter Groups

Groups of parents meet regularly to support the activities of students in Music, Rugby, Hockey, Soccer, Debating and Public Speaking. In addition to providing moral and vocal support, they raise funds for extra equipment or services, provide refreshments or meals and enjoy making friends with like-minded parents. Expressions of interest are being taken to form a Swimming Supporters Group.

The groups operate under the umbrella of the Parents and Friends Committee. Meeting dates for Supporter Groups are published in the College Calendar and the Newsletter.
