Here at Catholic Regional College Caroline Springs we have been so fortunate this year to have a group of committed parents who have come together to form our Parents and Friends Committee for 2022. The impact of COVID in the last two years has meant we have had to start again in so many ways and our parents and friends was no exception. However, so many families were willing to put their hands up and have supported us in helping out on Live Fully Act Justly Day, the Year 7 Testing Day, P and F meetings, feedback on the College and our Christmas dinner. For me personally, the highlight was our cultural dinner where our amazing Iraqi parents cooked traditional dishes for us to enjoy. This committee is a wonderful opportunity to strengthen the relationships families have with the College and to meet other families within our community.

A special thanks to our Principal Jamie Madigan for his support, Anthony Zammit and the work he does with a number of our families, and finally to Nrmin Ajem our Multicultural Aide who has gone above and beyond in supporting the committee getting off the ground this year.

We look forward to welcoming new parents in 2023 and collaborating on further initiatives that the P and F can support.
