School
Board
The School Board acts as a forum for discussion on matters concerning education and forward planning for the school, and is responsible to the Parish Priest for its work. It brings together, in a spirit of co-operation, the Parish Priest, the Principal and representatives of parents and teachers. It is an avenue for informed advice to be shared.
The School Board is specifically responsible for carrying out the following functions:
- Ensuring the implementation of Diocesan Policies as stated from time to time.
- Assisting in the formulation of School Policies in close collaboration with the Principal and staff of the school.
- Working in collaboration with the Parents and Parishioners Association in the school.
- Encouraging school/community relationships and home/school interaction.
- Developing strategies for the local promotion of Catholic education.

Parents'
& Parishioners' Committee
The Parents & Parishioners Association plays a very active role in providing funds for equipment in the school and in giving general support in a multitude of ways. By being an involved participant in the work of the Association, parents have the opportunity to meet other families in the school and enjoy the ownership and social contact that are a part of our vibrant community. It is a great way to be part of a caring family community.
All parents are encouraged to attend at least a few meetings each year. These meetings are held at the school in the evening approximately once a month. It is in the interests of our continued community spirit that support of all the functions organized by the various Committees is encouraged. The P & P assist at First Eucharist and Confirmation, Open Days etc with the serving of tea and coffee for families and friends of the family.

Sports
Committee
The St. Philip's Sports Committee was formed over 20 years ago with the aim of providing St. Philip's School with parental support in the organization of sporting and other activities. Initially this was done by providing coaches and officials for weekend sporting activities and by raising funds to purchase sporting equipment and trophies.
As well as organizing the annual School Sports Day, the committee undertakes school grounds maintenance and runs the annual Trivia Night.
The Sports Committee has a 4 man executive of President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary. It is open to all parents who wish to become involved in assisting with sporting activities at the school and/or assisting the school in other ways. The Sports Committee is an active part of St. Philip's Parish and welcomes all parents interested in helping the school.
