All parents of students at Elizabeth College automatically become members of The Friends.

Split into two sections: The Friends of Elizabeth College; and The Friends of Elizabeth College Junior School, both groups have their own committee of parents and staff to manage the fundraising initiatives for their respective areas of the school.

Like all schools, Elizabeth College has a wish list of equipment and activities that fall outside the remit of the allocated budget. The Friends is run much like any other PTA (Parents Teachers Association) and the Committees, in conjunction with the College, decide how funds raised at the various events are spent.

The Friends would like to encourage all parents to take an active part in the Friends' activities either by joining the Committee, offering to help when possible and, of course, by attending and enjoying their annual events.

HOW TO HELP

Please contact us if you would like to help out, however much (or little!) time or skills you have to share. Taking part is entirely voluntary and new faces are always welcome.

For Upper School parents one way you can support the College is by subscribing to the Friends’ Elizabeth College Sports Tours Fund Monthly Draw. This fund helps to support the cost of travelling College sports teams for off-island (UK or Jersey) fixtures whilst providing an opportunity for subscribers to win cash sums in a monthly lottery draw.

Three prizes are drawn each month and 30% of the total income from numbers purchased is distributed.

Quote The Friends' “share” number 104286 when you shop at the Co-Op. While this might seem like a little thing from an individual perspective, it does add up and can make a huge difference when The Friends cater for events and provide prizes.

Make an automatic donation (that costs you nothing) every time you shop online! The easy fundraising website works like a loyalty scheme, where instead of earning points, you raise a donation for The Friends. An automatic donation is generated each time you buy from websites such as John Lewis - at no extra cost to you.
