Parent participation is critical to the effectiveness and success of GLC, and we are blessed to have supportive ‘Parents + Friends’ at both GLC campuses.
When you enrol your child at GLC you automatically become a ‘Parent + Friend’ of the College. This means you are an important part of our College community and we encourage you to connect and contribute to what makes GLC great.
Each campus has a ‘P+F Committee’, who volunteer their time and meet twice times a term. Their mission is to drive the fundraising and friend-raising efforts of our College, and they are always looking to welcome new interested committee members who can help drive these important efforts.
The College is enormously grateful for the continued support from its P+Fs, which last year enabled the purchase of new Library furniture at the St John's Newtown campus and a significant contribution towards the new Primary Playground at the Armstrong Creek Campus.
Ways to assist the work of the P+F:
- Support fundraising drives
- Purchasing of lunches at Fun Food Fridays
- Attend P+F ticketed events such as: Discos, Trivia Nights, Parent Galas and events.
- Join the ‘P+F Committee’
Requirements to assist anytime at school:
- Current Volunteer Working with Children check
- LEVNT Valuing Safe Communities Certificate
New committee members and volunteers are always welcome. You can find more information about meeting dates and times on PAM or by contacting each P&F Committee through the links below.

Blue & Gold Gala 2024
Every two years, the GLC community comes together for the GLC Blue & Gold Gala, which is a major fundraising event for the College put on by our P&F Committees.
It was great to see so many parents and College friends from both campuses at the Captains’ Room at GMHBA Stadium for last year's Gala in August. Thank you to the GLC Armstrong Creek P&F Committee, and in particular to the Gala Organising Committee for putting on such an enjoyable evening that helped raised funds for future College projects, such as the new GLC Armstrong Creek Primary playground.
The College would also like to extend a big thank you to the many generous sponsors who donated items to the night’s Silent Auction.
