These parents help with arranging meals during intensive rehearsal schedules, organise interval suppers and post-performance receptions for invited guests, and assist the Parents' and Friends' Association with its fundraising activities.
It is a genial body of volunteers and meetings are held only on a needs basis. There is a committee and a list of those willing to help if needed. Parents enjoy the opportunity to become involved in a supportive way in their children's productions.

Football is a very strong and popular sport at 无码流出AV and the Parents' Committee provides much valuable support for players across all year levels.

There is strong fellowship amongst the football parents, all of whom share a common interest in the sport and their children's involvement in it. New members are always welcome.

Friends of Music
This Committee exists to actively promote and support all aspects of music at 无码流出AV School. The Committee is made up of parents who support the large number of students who are members of one or more of 无码流出AV's music ensembles, such as choirs, orchestras and bands. The Committee is well managed by an elected body which encourages as many parents as possible to be actively involved.
The year is always a busy one, with concerts and performances to prepare for, as well as occasional special events and tours. The staff who conduct and look after these ensembles are supported by the tangible and considerable efforts of an active and committed parent body.
The Committee provides support to the Head of Music and the Music Department through assistance with functions and events, as well as fundraising. Funds raised by the Committee are applied to the purchase of musical instruments and other equipment. The Committee meets regularly throughout the School year. Smaller focus groups, each supporting the work of specific ensembles, also meet on a regular basis. The Committee is represented at, and reports to, each meeting of the Parents' and Friends' Association.
