Friends of the
Senior School
(FOSS)
Lisa Derrick, Ruth Warden and Clayton Massey
Welcome to the start of 2014 and to
our new committee members, Lisa Derrick,
Jo Stone and Corol Campbell, and a very
heartfelt thank you to those of you who are
continuing on for another year. Any parent
of a boy in the Senior School is welcome to
come along to the FOSS meetings and see
what we are about. Our role is to support
the Senior School boys, staff and parents in
a variety of ways through catering, service
to the School and liaising with parents.
Jennifer Handz is the FOSS LP Co-ordinator
for 2014. Jennifer has been hard at work
and has ensured there are Liaison Parents in
each year group and House. Many of the
Liaison Parents have already hosted morning
teas or year group get togethers, and
supported the FOSS team by helping out at
the Senior School Athletics Day. Details of
events are advertised in the weekly Bulletin
in the Senior School News and/or Your
School Community sections.

From your P & F
Your P & F Society hit the new school year with energy and spirit.
A strong P & F Management Committee has worked together for
the betterment of the School community. This is the concept of One
School One Community.
In doing so, the P & F has delivered a number of initiatives early in
the year, establishing a sound framework for effective collaboration,
transparency and best practice. These include:
• Defining the duty statements of P & F Arts and Sports
representatives. Katherine Stevens, Art representative, has
embraced this role rejuvenating the Arts Supporters Group.
P & F Sports representative, Dean Porter, has finalised the
framework for the Sports role.
• A sub-committee has worked in consultation with subcommittee Presidents to develop an Operational Procedures
Manual. This document combines the Society’s Constitution
and the guiding principles of the One School One Community
strategy.
• As President I have undertaken a legal review of the Society’s
Constitution last reviewed in 2007, as well as establishing a new
Alcohol Policy ratified by the Management Committee in March.
The policy corresponds
