Fintona Parents' Association (FPA)

Parent Representatives from each year level also work closely with the FPA and are encouraged to attend meetings, held on the third Wednesday of each term.

The FPA Committee is well supported by the School and works closely with Adele McIntosh, the Development and Community Engagement Manager.

Fundraising activities include the running of the uniform shop, the second-hand text book sale and the biennial Fintona Food and Wine Festival. Social events organised include a Gala Cocktail Event, a social event for mums and a Beef and Burgundy Night for dads. The FPA also organises gifts for our graduating Year 4 and Year 12 students.

There are a number of sub-groups each with its own focus and each sub-group sits under the umbrella of the FPA. Parents who join these groups are able to be involved in specific areas their children are involved in (e.g. Class Representative, Music, Sport) or on a broader basis (Uniform Shop or Book Sale).

Joining a parent group also enables you to be actively involved in developing and supporting the community that is an important aspect of being part of the Fintona family. It is a great way to meet parents not only from your year level but right across the school from ELC through to Year 12 and develop friendships that you will take with you when your child finishes their journey at Fintona.
