The Parents & Friends Association (PFA)

At St Columba’s Primary School, we believe that strong partnerships between families and the school community create the foundation for student success. The Parents and Friends Association (PFA) plays a vital role in strengthening this connection, fostering a welcoming environment, enhancing communication and supporting initiatives that enrich the educational journey of every child.

The PFA contributes to the life of the school through:

• Organising Community Events

  Leading and supporting social and fundraising activities that strengthen connections within the school community.

• Welcoming New Families

  Creating a sense of belonging for new families by offering support and helping them engage with school life.

• Promoting Family Engagement

  Coordinating opportunities for families to connect through class gatherings and school events.

• Enhancing Communication

  Acting as a key link between the school and families, sharing information and fostering open dialogue.
