About St Margaret's
  Parent Groups

There are several parent groups at SMS, representing various interests and activities in the School. We value the generous support of these groups. If you would like to become a member please contact Reception on + 613 9703 8111

Parents' and Friends' Association
The Parents' and Friends' Association is a vibrant group consisting of the School's family community. It provides a vital social link between the school parents as well as contributing crucial funds from various fundraising initiatives to support the School. Its contributions to the School's facilities are greatly valued and appreciated. The Parents' and Friends' Association also runs the Second Hand Uniform Shop. There are also Year Representatives who assist with special events in the School Calendar, thus developing a contact network for SMS families.

Over the past few years the P & F have contributed towards a sports/bus shelter, the erection of the front fence and upgrading of playground equipment. To commemorate the 70th Anniversary the P & F presented to the school the beautiful unicorn statue at the top of the driveway, while during the School’s 75th Anniversary in 2001 a spectacular 75th Anniversary Ball and Twilight fireworks display was enjoyed by all families associated with the School. More recently the P & F have donated funds to refurbish and landscape the undercover picnic area of the Junior School, external lighting and kitchen equipment for the new Auditorium.

Parents for Performing Arts Committee
The Committee has been supportive and enhanced the development of music at SMS since its inception in 1990. Once the Music and Drama Centre was opened in 2000, the Committee broadened its appeal to include the Drama Department and now supports Stage 2 of the Performing Arts Centre, the School Auditorium. The Committee holds regular functions, such as barbeques, to raise funds so students have the opportunity to tour locally and overseas. They also assist by raising money for the purchase of musical instruments and other resources.

Equestrian Committee
The Equestrian Committee is dedicated to supporting students involved in representing the School at local and state equestrian events. Every year, the Equestrian Committee organises the SMS Interschool Equestrian Challenge increasing St Margaret's equestrian profile in the community.
