Carmel College PTFA

The PTFA is a vibrant community of parents, caregivers, staff, and students working together to enrich school life. Through fundraising, events, and connection, we support opportunities that empower our girls, build community spirit, and celebrate the Mercy values at the heart of Carmel College.

 

Faith. Fun. Fundraising… For her Future.

Who We Are

The Parent Teacher Friend Association (PTFA) is a passionate group of parents, caregivers, staff, and students dedicated to:

  • Fundraising for resources and opportunities that empower our girls.
  • Building community through fun, inclusive events that connect families and strengthen school spirit.

We believe that when families engage, students thrive.

Our Current Mission

We are currently fundraising to help build an outdoor activities area at Carmel College.
This space will support our girls in developing confidence, mobility skills, and a love for movement and play—essential for their wellbeing and growth.

Scholarship Support

Each year, the PTFA proudly sponsors two $2,000 Sr Mary Justine Scholarship Awards for Year 13 students.
These scholarships are awarded, on application, to students who exemplify the Mercy values that lie at the heart of Carmel College.

What We Do

We host a variety of events throughout the year that bring joy, connection, and support to our school community. Some of our signature events include:

  • Student Quiz Night
  • Beats by Bingo (Parents Only)
  • Parent Daughter Breakfast
  • Christmas Market & Carols by the Lake
  • Social Events
  • Movie Nights
  • Sausage Sizzles with Well Hung Butchers at Milford.

Each event is a chance to celebrate, connect, and contribute—while having a great time!
