Hills Grammar Parents and Friends Association (PAFA) hosts regular events to bring school families together and organises fundraising initiatives to contribute to the development of the School.
Over the years PAFA has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to purchase additional equipment for our students, including Smart Boards, Minibus, Scoreboard, Sunshade sails, BBQ for the sports precinct, AV system for the Multi-purpose Hall, the operation of the Second Hand Uniform Shop and the Hills Grammar Fitness Centre. In 2017, PAFA funded a subscription to SchoolTV, an online student wellbeing resource for parents where leading Australian professionals address a range of topics relevant to raising safe, happy and resilient young people.
The Parents & Friends Association (PAFA) provides parents with regular parent and community forums, which are supplemented by a range of breakfast, twilight and evening information meetings.
In June each year the PAFA Annual General Meeting is held and the executive and committee members are elected.
