Connecting College and Community

Thank you to all who attended the recent Zoom Friends of Pacific (FoP) meeting. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow parents and staff and in particular, hear of academic and sporting successes within the Pacific community. Planning for 2021 is underway and we invite all current and new Pacific parents and staff to attend our next general meeting on Tuesday 16th February at 6.30pm (Term 1 2021). As a committee, we voted in favour of also moving our AGM to this first meeting back, which hopefully can be conducted at the College. We encourage you to consider supporting FoP by nominating or expressing your interest for the 2021 volunteer committee. It’s a wonderful way to unite with fellow parents and staff, learn more about what is happening on campus and support events that bring much joy to our community. The Greek philosopher Aristotle once said that the fundamental principle of life is “to serve others and do good”. By understanding how to best serve and help each other, as well as different communities, we can see real benefits – not just for others but ourselves, too.

Over the coming weeks we will be highlighting some of the amazing efforts from throughout the years by our FoP members. To acknowledge and congratulate the people amongst us for their very valued contribution is an important part of giving back.

If you’d like to make contact with FoP, please email: fop@pacluth.qld.edu.au.
