FRIENDS OF EAC

Emmanuel Anglican College is proud to partner with ‘Friends of EAC’, a volunteer community group comprised of the families and friends of current EAC students and our proud alumni. ‘Friends of EAC’ is a fun and dynamic group who foster engagement within our College community, raise funds for EAC and other worthy causes and stage fun events that are the highlight of our EAC social calendar.

‘Friends of EAC’ supports the College in a broad range of ways including:

• The Second Hand Uniform Shop
• Events for students such as fetes, discos and socials
• Events for grown ups such as trivia nights and gala dinners
• Supporting the whole College community events such as the College Musical, Open Evening and Carnivals.

How to Get Involved

Meetings

Meetings are held each term and are a great way to connect with other members of the EAC community, engage directly with the College and make new friends. All EAC parents and carers are welcome to attend Friends’ meetings which are brief in nature and focused on event planning. The Friends Executive Committee is elected at each Annual General Meeting (AGM). Friends new and old are welcome to nominate and participate.

Events

Each event ‘Friends of EAC’ support is designed to bring our dynamic College community together to foster inclusivity and sometimes, raise funds for either the College or a worthy cause relevant to the Northern Rivers. Volunteering your help at these events is a great way to get to know other parents and carers and contribute your skills. These events also offer opportunities for businesses to engage with our families on a meaningful level. Prize donations, whether they be in cash or in kind, are always welcome.

Second Hand Uniform Shop

The Friends of EAC Second Hand Uniform Shop is a favourite of families and run exclusively by parent volunteers.

The shop is open every Tuesday between 2:30pm to 3:30pm during school term (unless otherwise advised).

All uniform donations are greatly appreciated and can be left at the office at any time. Money raised from this service is used to support various activities, resources and events within the College.

‘Friends of EAC’ warmly welcome new members and support for their committee.  Whether through volunteering, donating prizes or experiences, baking or helping at events, all contributions are greatly appreciated. To get involved or sponsor an event, please email friends@eac.nsw.edu.au.
