A friendly reminder that all parents and carers are invited to attend a Special General Meeting of the St James Primary School P&F on Monday, 12th May at 7:00pm in the Parish Hall.

As part of the Special General Meeting, parents and carers will be asked to vote on a number of motions, including the dissolution of the P&F Association and subsequent transition to the newly developed family engagement model named FACE Forum.

Like a P&F Association,  FACE Forums provide an opportunity for families, school staff and clergy to gather, explore, discuss, imagine, implement, support, encourage and journey together as we work in community for the benefit of all children and young people in our schools. However, a key difference is that parents and carers are no longer required to take on official roles in this model.

If you would like to learn more about the FACE Forum, you aware welcome to review the guidelines which are available on the Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle’s Catholic Schools website and provide a comprehensive overview on all aspects of the FACE Forum including the Forum’s purpose, limitations, operations, sub-committees, fundraising and sponsorship.
