Friends of A.B. Paterson College
On behalf of the Friends of A.B. Paterson College (FAB), we warmly welcome you and your family to our College community.
Since the College’s inception, FAB has played a vital role in strengthening community connection and enhancing the student experience. Through the delivery of much-loved community events, support of major College initiatives such as the musical, and the hosting of special celebrations including Mother’s Day and Father’s Day events, FAB contributes meaningfully to the life and culture of A.B. Paterson College. FAB also works in partnership with the A.B. Paterson College Foundation to support broader community and fundraising initiatives, such as the ninja warrior course and many other initiatives.
FAB is proudly made up of parents, guardians and friends of the College — volunteers who generously give their time to help foster the strong sense of belonging for which our College is known.

The role of FAB within the College is to encourage, promote and nurture the vibrant community spirit that defines A.B. Paterson College. We believe that strong partnerships between families and the College enrich the educational journey of our students and create lasting connections that extend well beyond graduation.
FAB is also supported by a wonderful network of volunteers who assist throughout the year at various events and activities. Volunteering is a rewarding way to meet other families, build friendships, and contribute positively to the College community.
We encourage all families to stay connected and involved. To keep up to date with upcoming events and volunteer opportunities, please join the FAB Connect page via the College Connect platform. Simply search for “FAB” within Connect to find our page.
If you would like to get involved or learn more, please contact the FAB Committee at fab@abpat.qld.edu.au.
We look forward to welcoming you to a FAB event soon!
