Our priority is to represent, communicate and connect with parents in a way that strengthens and contributes to the Monte Sant’ Angelo College community.
The Monte Sant' Angelo Mercy College Parents and Friends Association (P&F) represents current and past parents, and friends of Monte, supporting the College through hospitality and service to others.
Led by an Executive Committee and supported by an extensive network of parent volunteers, the P&F works in partnership with the Principal and College to create an inclusive, engaged parent community.
Monte parents and friends are encouraged to attend social events and activities, P&F meetings and parent forums and to take an active role in the life of the College and their daughters’ education.
P&F meetings and parent forums are held in March, May and November. The Annual General Meeting is held in September.
The P&F’s work involves an element of fundraising each year which directly benefits students currently at the College. Funds are raised via the P&F term raffle and a fundraising event in term three.
The P&F ensures parents are informed about educational issues beyond the College gates with representation on the Council of Catholic School Parents NSW/ACT (CCSP) and the NSW Parent Council.
For feedback or more information about the Monte P&F, please contact P&F President, Shirley Cheung.
The College newsletter, Monte Matters is published each week during the term periods.
The Gazette is published twice per year and is distributed to the wider Monte community, including Alumni.
The P&F Executive Committee is made up as follows:

Class Parent Network
A Class Parent system operates at Monte. Each year group has one or two Parent Year Co-ordinators and Class Parens who support the Co-ordinator. Class Parent Volunteers are an integral part of the Monte Community and provide parents with the opportunity to be involved in the College. The Class Parent Network provides a vital link between you - the parent, the P&F and the College.
Parent Portal. The Parent Portal is a single-source for you to access Monte resources, contacts, reports etc.
Contact us if you have any difficulty in accessing the Parent Portal or have questions about using MonteConnect.

Parent Organisations
The Monte P&F has representatives on two parent organisations: the Council of Catholic School Parents (CCSP) NSW/ACT and the NSW Parent Council.
This ensures that we can, as a parent body, keep our parents in the loop about broader educational issues.
