Parents & Friends
The Parents & Friends of Pulteney provides many opportunities for parental involvement at the School.
Parents and Friends of Pulteney (P&F) has supported the school, in its various forms, for over 60 years. It continues to play an important role in the success of social events, raising funds for new facilities and maintaining a close school community. Working together, parents and teachers become invaluable support networks for students. The P&F encourages Pulteney families to attend events and get involved in any way they can. Family engagement is essential to a successful learning environment and it’s never too late to start building connections.
A vital part of life at Pulteney
Pulteney appreciates the support of our wonderful families and understands the vital role they play in the success of the School.
Parents who are involved in the school stay informed about its decision making and strategic direction. Members of the P&F communicate how much they value their child’s education and model the values of service and contribution that are important across the entire Pulteney community. Members of the P&F can also choose to be involved in fundraising, which supports improvements across our facilities and resources. It is also a way to meet other parents and start new friendships.
Pulteney encourages parents to become active members of the community by nominating themselves as Parent Representatives, volunteering at events, raising funds for new facilities, assisting with travel, and donating their time and expertise at the School.
If you are interested in becoming involved in the P&F, please contact Pulteney. The P&F welcomes all volunteers in whatever capacity they have.
