Community & Partnerships

Welcome to the CRC North Keilor Parents & Friends Association

The Parents & Friends Association (P&F) is an important part of our College community, bringing families and staff together in a spirit of partnership, service and connection. As a dedicated and supportive group, we work alongside College leadership to identify opportunities and raise funds for projects that enhance school facilities, provide additional resources, and enrich learning and extra-curricular experiences for all students.

We believe that when parents and carers feel connected to the College, students benefit too. A strong school community helps young people feel supported, engaged and able to thrive. The P&F offers a welcoming space for parents and carers to stay informed, build friendships, share ideas and play an active role in College life.

What we do:

Bring our community together We create opportunities for every CRC North Keilor family to experience a genuine sense of belonging, connection and community.

Work in partnership with College leadership We provide a parent perspective, share ideas and work collaboratively with the College Leadership Team to support initiatives that benefit our students.

Support opportunities beyond the classroom Through fundraising, we help provide additional learning resources, sporting equipment, extra-curricular programs, award sponsorships and special celebration days that enrich the student experience.

Lend a helping hand Our volunteers assist with College events, uniform sales, raffle prizes, the annual Bunnings BBQ and a range of other fundraising activities throughout the year.

Cultivate lasting friendships We offer relaxed social opportunities where parents and carers can meet, connect and support one another.
