The Marist Friends Association
Message from the MFA Chairman
Dear Parents,
A very warm welcome to the MFA section of the Marist Schools' website.
Background
The MFA was established by parents and teachers at the Marist Schools. We have a successful record of raising money for projects such as a swimming pool, new teaching equipment, a minibus and IT equipment. We host a number of exciting events and projects throughout the School year.
Our role extends to providing refreshments and catering at schools events such as open days, concerts and plays.
Key Committee members
• Presidents - Karl McCloskey & Jenny Finlayson
• Chairman - Mr Derek Willard
• Secretary - Sarah Gallop
• Treasurer - Denver Dias
Who can join the committee?
You can be a parent, faculty member, a Maristine or a Sixth Former. If you have answered yes to any of these questions, we would love you to consider joining one of the MFA subcommittees. We are looking for interested, enthusiastic, fun loving people who want to help make the Marist a better place during the years our daughters are here in the school.
Helping out occasionally
The MFA would greatly appreciate help with forthcoming events during the next academic year. If you are able to offer time, expertise or enthusiasm we would love to hear from you! There is no obligation to join the committee. If you are interested in finding out more please contact Derek Willard on 07860 392058.
How to contact us
If you wish to contact the MFA committee please leave a message in the MFA box at either of the school offices.
I hope that we will see you at future MFA events, they are not only an opportunity to support your daughter's school, but also an opportunity to meet and socialise with other parents. We are always looking for new members and volunteers so please do get in touch with us if you are interested.
Best Wishes
Derek Willard, MFA Chairman
