The role of the PFA has two parts. Primarily, we build community spirit for the school, and help the wellbeing of students, families and school staff. This is done by arranging fun events for students and their families; helping to forge life long friendships. Secondly, we raise valuable funds to support the activities of the school, such as sport gala days, school productions, arts days and many more. We also help to resource the classrooms, stock the library and keep the school environment looking great. This year funds raised will go towards the Basketball court resurfacing, a new sports area and a lovely passive play area.
The PFA has two important volunteer groups;
- Committee: official members who are the decision makers and planners. Based on our PFA constitution this group can stand for a PFA position and officially vote on activities. Individuals from this group, run most (although not all) of the events. We meet 2-3 times a term for a meeting over dinner. There is an AGM each year in March to re-elect the official positions.
- PFA Helpers: non-official members who help run or help out at events. We aim to catch up with this group each term for a coffee morning and otherwise reach out on an ad-hoc basis to help as needed.
There are many different tasks that help make each event run successfully; from handing out sushi, throwing coloured powder at the Colour Run, cooking sausages on the barbeque, to designing artwork and updating the Parent Hub. Our aim is to make every volunteer hour as enjoyable as possible, and appreciate that each of us can only give the time that we can give. The below might help work out what suits you best, but feel free to email the PFA and arrange a coffee with Annalie if you want to chat more.
We are looking for all skills or interests!
