New P&F Email Addresses for all CEWA Schools
As mentioned in our last newsletter, all Parents & Friends (P&F) Committees in CEWA schools now have access to a CEWA-approved email address for official correspondence.
Starting in Term 1 2026 CSPWA will use these P&F email addresses to:
- Share important updates and event information
- Seek feedback from parents for our work in advocacy and representation
- Provide correspondence for your next P&F meeting agenda
These email addresses must first be set up by the school office. Once created, they are assigned to the P&F Chair, who will manage the account. Instructions for both the school’s IT Admin contact and the P&F Chair were sent to Principals via a Prime Memo on 31 January. For convenience, we’ve reattached those instructions below for anyone who may have missed them.
P&F Email Address Instructions
The format of the email address is: [school code].pnfchair@cewa.edu.au
When the P&F Chair comes to the end of their tenure on the committee, their access will be removed, and the incoming P&F Chair will be assigned to the email address. This ensures continuity, allowing all correspondence and documents to remain accessible to the P&F Committee over time.
The lead up to your Annual Community Meeting is an ideal time to set up the new email addresses and ensure that the ongoing, or incoming Chair is allocated to the email as part of the handover process after the ACM.
We encourage all schools to complete setup ASAP to ensure a smooth transition. If you have any questions please reach out to our office. If we are unable to answer them, we can consult with the CEWA IT Team, who developed the addresses for us.
