Friends & Family of St Monica
Our team is about much more than simply fundraising.
Welcome to our Events page!
Here you’ll find all the exciting activities and fundraisers happening throughout the academic year. Every event helps raise funds to support our school community — and we couldn’t do it without you!
The Friends & Family of St Monica exists to bring staff, parents, carers and friends together socially in support of our school.
All families are automatically members of Friends and Families of St. Monica when their child joins our school.
All parents, carers and members of the school community are encouraged to get involved even if they only have a small amount of time available. Ranging from helping out at events, attending our weekly coffee mornings at the Church hall next door to the school ( for a chat & support ) and to help with ideas for fundraising and improving the learning experience at the school.
If you’d like to volunteer or donate prizes, please get in touch with the F&F Team — we’re always grateful for extra hands and ideas!
