How to contribute to the Parents’ Association through the 2024 school fees and support our Grants Scheme
The generous financial donations we receive from families through fundraising and the school contributions enables the PA the ability to offer teaching staff and student groups the chance to apply for funding for ‘extra’ opportunities. These grants benefit students within the school where these programs or equipment could not readily go ahead or be purchased without assistance from the PA. Recent grants have contributed to: Waste reduction equipment; French Dictionaries; Rowing equipment; Outdoor Education waterproof jackets & gaiters; STEAM Robots & Heat Press; Bass Clarinet for music program; and Digital SLR cameras for Visual Arts. The 2023 grants applications have been received by the Parents’ Association and we are excited to announce these in November.
To contribute to the ongoing work of the Parents’ Association and the Annual Grants Scheme, it is important to indicate this through the Lead and Achieve tick box on your 2024 Financial contributions. The MGC Parents’ Association plays a valuable role in our students’ educational experience by building connections and community, and providing assistance where we can. We thank you for all your contributions and support.
