PARENTS & FRIENDS’
CLASS CO-ORDINATORS Class co-ordinators create a positive and friendly environment for families within the College community. They assist both the College and P&F by encouraging parents to attend events and organising volunteer help. They also liaise with the classroom teacher and parents.

CENTENARY WEEKEND P&F were very proud to be involved in the Centenary Weekend celebrations in March. Along with Old Girls and senior students we assisted the Development Office with preparations for the Centenary Girls’ Night Out Cocktail Party which was a huge success and attended by just under 1000 proud Old Girls – the biggest reunion St Cuthbert’s has ever had! The following day P&F were busy serving refreshments and were on hand to answer questions about life at St Cuthbert’s to prospective new parents and girls at the St Cuthbert’s Open Day. We also enjoyed talking to many Old Girls who enjoyed a tour of the College, reminiscing about the old times while marvelling at the new facilities and how much things have changed! P&F Committee members on the Black Watch Gala Dinner Committee worked hard to help organise a memorable oncein-100-years event for 500 people on the Saturday night. Committee members had a fun evening at the P&F table ending the evening with dancing to Mr Stewart Allan’s band!
The Centenary Weekend culminated with the much anticipated Bubbles and High Tea event on the Sunday afternoon. Together with the College community, P&F assisted with hosting tables to make sure all the 500 guests were looked after and enjoyed the event. It was a delight to chat to mothers, daughters and granddaughters about their experiences at St Cuthbert’s. An unexpected bonus was that we got to watch the amazing fashion show that included College uniforms over the last 100 years. St Cuthbert’s Weekend reinforced that volunteering doesn’t have to be a chore – it can be both rewarding and enjoyable.
