P&F Association
The Orana Parents and Friends Association (P&F) is a separately incorporated association which belongs to the parents, teachers and staff of Orana.
The P&F is a vital part of the Orana community.
It offers parents and friends of the school unique opportunities to meet each other and to become involved with the school through community-building events and fundraising activities.
The P&F is responsible for the Orana P&F Shop, as well as managing the hire of events equipment to Association members.
The P&F organises many school community activities and events such as the Craft Group, Community Markets and the school’s major fundraising event, the annual Spring Fair.
