Interested in joining the PFA?

The Parents and Friends Association is a committee of volunteers who organise events and fundraisers throughout the year, with the aim of supporting the school financially through fundraising (e.g. the Mango drive and the Tesselaar bulb drive earlier this year), and building community among the students and parents through various social events (e.g. Trivia night/disco last term, and the Mothers’ and Fathers’ day breakfasts). We also coordinate the WhatsApp class groups through the year.

As we come to the last term of the year, it’s worth noting that some of this year’s members will be moving on as their children leave the school. That means we are looking for fresh volunteers to take on the various roles. People can join the PFA throughout the year - all it really takes is some enthusiasm, and a willingness to pitch in and help!

Early in the new year (usually in March), the PFA will hold an AGM, where all current positions are declared vacant and new office-bearers are elected. Additionally, if you are interested in the idea of the PFA, now is a great time to come along to a meeting, meet some people and get a sense of what happens. Our next meeting will be Tuesday 12th November at 7.30pm in the staffroom at school. Drop an email to us at wpspfa@gmail.com for more details.
