Parents & Friends

The St Aidan’s Parents and Friends Association aims to create community connections by hosting numerous events throughout the year and providing opportunities for parents to meet each other. St Aidan’s is lucky to have a vibrant and supportive parent community who are keen to build connections either through volunteering or supporting the P&F activities.

We would like to offer a warm welcome to our 2023 Executive. Once again, we have a strong leadership team who have planned an exciting year with the goal of both ‘friend’ raising and fundraising to enhance our girls’ learning experiences and environment.

President – Reuben Saayman

Vice-President – Kate Thomas

Treasurer – Kris Whitehead

Secretary – Carl Quarterman

The P&F in 2023 will continue to build a strong culture of Parent – School engagement. We are all in this together! We encourage parents to stay up to date through the P&F page on Aidan’s Central as we will post our upcoming events and news via this page.

We look forward to welcoming each of you at a range of events this year.

On behalf of the St Aidan’s Foundation Board I would like to offer a special thank you to our out-going Chair and Foundation Board member Rachel Condos-Fields. For the past six years Rachel has brought an inspirational dynamic to St Aidan’s that combined her executive business nous with her passion for the empowerment of sporting talent and athletes. Rachel has guided the Foundation through the early stages of the redevelopment of the Ambiwerra campus, navigated the challenges of a pandemic, and set us on a path to sustainable success. We will surely miss Rachel’s energy and look forward to her cheering us on from the sidelines as she promises to do.

I am both humbled and honoured to have been asked by Principal Toni Riordan to step up in the interim as Chair, and am under no illusion that I have very special shoes to fill! Having been on the Foundation Board now for two years, I bring a genuine belief in the holistic benefits of the capital projects we are focused on.

As a parent of a recent St Aidan’s year 12 graduate, I have witnessed first-hand the benefits from the thought that goes into fundraising for our school, always with the genuine welfare of our daughters as a central concern. It has been beautiful to watch how our daughter and her friends continue the sense of their St Aidan’s community and care for one another and remain grateful for their experiences. But there is much work to be done to ensure the redevelopment projects continue and we cannot do this without your support. I encourage you all to keep the momentum and excitement building ahead of Giving Day on June 15, so our girls can continue to fly into their future.
