Parents & Friends Association

Parents and Friends Association The Peace Lutheran College Parents and Friends Association has a number of community and financial objectives. The P & F has an active interest in College activities and is actively involved in fund raising and friend raising activities to raise funds that are used to develop amenities for the students.

Activities

Where the funds go

The P & F has adopted a policy for the use of the money raised. Put simply we seek out projects that

• Will provide a persistent benefit (i.e. capital in nature)
• Will provide a reasonable immediate benefit
