Friends Of SSP

A coalition of parents and friends

The Friends of St Simon Peter teams work in cooperation with the Catholic School Advisory Council as the two main parent representative groups of the school.

Rationale

Within the framework of a collaborative structure, the Friends of SSP is able to take advantage of the wide range of experience, talent, goodwill, and energy in the school community to develop a greater awareness of the School’s ethos and operation; raise additional funds to augment school programs, build a spirit of community and provide support for school activities. Friends of SSP is a representative body through which parents can help the school fulfill its educational responsibilities and to ensure that the spirit of Christian cooperation prevails in the context of the school’s mission and vision.

Structure of Friends of SSP

The Friends of SSP meets 2 times per Term on Thursday of Week 2 and Week 7 at 7 p.m. in the staffroom, but please check the calendar as these sometimes require moving due to issues outside our control.

The FSSP operates under the Terms of Reference for P&F's. A copy of these can be found following:
