Justine Hofman – Head of P&F

Nominations now open for a new P&F President

After two years at the helm of our Parents and Friends Committee, I would like to share that I will be stepping down from the position of President at the end of this school year.

It’s been a big couple of years. In just two years we have managed to build our P&F into a fully-fledged committee-based structure. Parents and friends are now championing nine active committees comprised of over 50 committee members and supported by a further 250 volunteers. It is a huge tribute to our beautiful community and I am grateful for the support and collaboration from each and every one of you.

Nominations

We are now calling on nominations for a new President or Co-presidents (yes, there can be two sharing this role) for the P&F in 2024. You can nominate yourself or nominate someone else to our P&F Secretary, Lynn Ross by emailing pandfsecretary@emanuelschool.nsw.edu.au . If you would like more information on what the role entails, you can also email Lynn and she can share further details with you.

Dedicated administration support 

I am also proud that our new structure within the school eco-system will enable the P&F to stand strong with increased support so that we can continue to build.

In particular, it’s been a game changer having a dedicated school administrator, Laura Hamilton, alleviate many of the administrative, logistical and planning aspects of the P&F. She has been an incredible asset to the P&F this year and will significantly lighten the load on the new incoming P&F President.
