Parent Associations and School Boards
Catholic School Parents Queensland
Catholic School Parents Queensland (formerly the Federation of Parents and Friends Associations) was founded in Queensland in 1960 and is endorsed and supported by the Bishops of Queensland, the Directors of Catholic Education Offices and Congregational Leaders.
In 1982 the Federation established a Secretariat (based in Brisbane) to assist with the role and function of the organisation. The Federation’s structure is consistent with Church areas, having Councils of Parents and Friends Associations at each Diocesan level, including the Archdiocese. Each Arch/Diocesan Council elects an Executive Committee for their respective Diocese. The parent network operates in partnership with the parish, system and congregational schools in each Diocese and with each Catholic Education Office under the respective Bishop.
The Federation’s operation and management is the responsibility of the State Committee. To download the P&F Constitution visit www.pandf.org.au
The Federation of Parents and Friends Associations changed its name to Catholic School Parents Queensland in 2018.
