P & F Initiatives
Parents & Friends’ are the wonderful people who organise the parent events you love to attend, set up those perfectly positioned gazebos at sports day, and introduce you to a new friend at the school gate. Beyond the social magic, we’re also busy raising funds and providing practical support that directly benefits your daughter’s education and experience.
P&F memorable moments
P & F Pre-Loved Uniform Sale
Twice a year the P&F run a sale of pre-loved uniform that makes a huge difference to our community, and our efforts in living as a more sustainable community. They raise $18,000 – $20,000 and these funds are invested back into the school to make a difference students’ lives and learning at St Cuthbert’s.
Junior School Disco
P&F run a sensational disco for our Junior School girls (and their dancing diva parents!). It’s one of the most fun events to volunteer at and, of course, attend! Come along to our meetings to find out more or speak with your class representatives.
Leavers’ Soiree
Farewelling girls as they end their time at St Cuthbert’s is a P&F tradition, and one the team get so much from organising. Talk to us about being part of the volunteer team today by emailing p&f@stcuthberts.school.nz.
Junior School Parent & Daughter Breakfasts
A tradition of old we are proud to take forward, our annual parent and daughter breakfast. We interchange between mother and daughter, and father and daughter breakfasts every year so everyone gets to be part of the part of the fun – especially the girls!
P & F Fundraising – Where we’ve made a difference
The funds we raise are channelled back into the college through the Foundation to support projects that are part of the College’s strategic vision. We meet as a committee to create fundraising opportunities and to plan events that connect our community, and everyone is welcome to join us. Some of the more recent projects supported by P&F fundraising include:
New playgrounds
Launched in 2024, our younger students have been enjoying two incredible new playgrounds, all thanks to the P&F. For Years 0-3 we have created a new, multi-sensory play haven in the Junior School. In addition, the P&F donation to the 2024 Gifting Amazing Annual Fund, has also supported the upgrade to the Year 7–10 Playground.
Rowing Boat
The P&F were instrumental in their funding to help the Rowing team purchase a new boat. We have loved watching the girls grow as a team and enjoy their new boat and can’t wait to see what they achieve in the future.
Dance Studio
When an initiative to create another dedicated Dance Studio was announced, P&F was there to support it. Knowing that so many of our girls love to dance they were key contributors not only to the funding but also to the design and implementation on what is a stunning dance room.
Additionally, recent P&F fundraising has supported other Annual Fund initiatives, including the establishment of the Enterprise Hub, Digital Technology Labs, the Performing Arts Recording Studio and Sports Recording Equipment, to name just a few.
