Parents & Friends Association
The Parents’ & Friends’ Association was first formed in the 1960’s and existed as St Mary’s Ladies Auxiliary and St John’s Mens’ Auxiliary until 1969 when it at the direction of the College Board became St John’s College Auxiliary.
The aim of the Association is to create opportunities for families to familiarise themselves with the running of St John’s in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, while getting to know other parents and staff. The Parents’ & Friends’ Association also has representation on the School Advisory Council.
