Parents and Friends

Building Community. Supporting Every Boy.

Community

The Lindisfarne Parents & Friends Association (PFA) connects families and funds school resources, mentorship, and well-being programs.

Parents and Friends

The PFA supports a wide range of initiatives that benefit students, parents and the wider College community. From welcoming new families at the New Parents' Evening and hosting much-loved events such as the Mothers & Sons Breakfast, to funding resources that enhance student learning and wellbeing, the PFA plays an integral role in College life.

Whether you volunteer your time, attend an event or simply lend your support, being part of the PFA is a rewarding way to connect with other families and contribute to the life of the College.

All parents are automatically members of the PFA and are warmly invited to attend the quarterly meetings.

To join the committee or volunteer at events, email parentsandfriends@lindisfarne.school.nz.

Your PFA Impact

The PFA plays a crucial role in enriching the educational journey and overall environment for our boys. Funds raised by the PFA are thoughtfully allocated according to our four core funding priorities:

Programme Development: Prioritising initiatives geared towards educational achievements

Resource Acquisition: Focusing on acquiring items that directly enhance student well-being

Mentorship: Nurturing character development and personal growth.

Capital Items: Directing funds towards items that notably impact student well-being

Our fundraising efforts are always aimed at fostering community engagement. We achieve this by organising events, projects, and activities that strengthen the bonds among parents, teachers, the College Council and students.

The Annual College Gala

The gala is not just our biggest fundraiser of the year, it’s an unforgettable day of fun, connection, and community spirit! Held on a Sunday morning, the gala bursts with energy, featuring stalls, games, and activities for all ages. Whether you’re a current or prospective parent, it’s the perfect opportunity to experience the warmth of Lindisfarne, pick up amazing bargains, and support our boys.

The gala, run by our Parents & Friends Association (PFA), raises vital funds that enhance the Lindisfarne experience for our boys. It’s more than just fundraising, it’s about fostering community, building connections, and welcoming families like yours into the heart of Lindisfarne.

Our annual gala requires over 80 volunteers, we'd love your help!
