About us

Parents and friends, pulling together

We're the volunteer-run charity behind Townley Grammar School — turning the goodwill of our community into real opportunities for every student.

Who we are

The Townley Parents & Friends Association

The PFA exists for one reason: to make life better for the students at Townley Grammar. Working in partnership with the school, we provide the activities, equipment and experiences that enrich every student's education — the extras that stretched school budgets can't always cover.

We're run entirely by volunteers — parents, carers and friends of the school who give their time because they believe in it. From a single hour at the Summer Fair to a place on the committee, every contribution adds up to something that shows in the classroom.

Recently your support has funded science equipment, library books, music and arts materials, a Black History Month exhibition and sports kit — and that list grows every term.
