Connecting College and Community

Friends of Pacific would like to acknowledge the tremendous sporting spirit on display from students, parents and staff whilst volunteering at the All Schools Triathlon on the weekend. We are thankful for the efforts of all who helped from Pacific. A huge thank you to Mrs Allyson Sarvari for coordinating the volunteers for the event. As with the previous Ironman event, Pacific will receive a donation for every volunteer we provided, which will help us raise further funds for the installation of additional water coolers at the College.

More Volunteering Opportunities

We are next looking forward to assisting at the Noosa Triathlon this Sunday 3^rd November from 9.30am – 2.00pm. Volunteers receive a t-shirt and a cap and will generally be helping on drink stations. If parents and/or Middle and Senior College helpers (Year 6-12 students) are able to assist out at this event, please contact Mrs Allyson Sarvari on 0402 276 988 or email: fop@pacluth.qld.edu.au.

The Unexpected Benefits of Volunteering

There is no doubt the world would be a poorer place without volunteers. As Tisha Tolar explains, “From large-scale operations to small community events, volunteers are always needed. There are plenty of stories promoting the work of celebrities who volunteer their time and talents, but there are many more people that work silently without recognition. They do it for personal satisfaction and to make a difference in someone else’s life. Along the way, most volunteers reap many additional, also often unheralded, rewards.” Click here to read all about The Unexpected Benefits of Volunteering.

Next Meeting

The Friends of Pacific Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held on Tuesday 19^th November at 6.30pm in the College Boardroom. We encourage you to consider supporting Friends of Pacific by nominating or expressing your interest for the 2020 volunteer committee. It’s a wonderful way to connect with fellow parents and staff, learn more about what is happening on campus and support events that bring much joy to our student body. The AGM nomination form is available here.

The next Friends of Pacific General Meeting will be held at the College on Tuesday 19^th November, commencing straight after the AGM. Please join us for Christmas drinks afterwards.
