How you can help the PFA
The Cheltenham Secondary PFA has been established to promote the school and our community connections, whilst raising some funds for the school. As it is newly established, we are seeking committee members and ideas of events the school community would like the PFA to run. We will be holding a meeting of the PFA shortly and will advertise this to the school.
The PFA would also love to establish a "database" of people in the community and how they would like to help. For example, one parent has advised that they have relatives who have a cellar door and can provide wine for prizes and events.
With the school to commence a major building renovation it would be terrific to know what our parents and supporters can assist with as we undertake this exciting development as well as providing further opportunities and ideas for our students.
If you would like to assist us in any way, please email us on pfa@cheltsec.vic.edu.au
Thank you for your support of the school and I look forward to seeing you at either the taste testing or the Trivia night. I also look forward to your ideas for events and offers of how you can assist the PFA.
Kind regards
Sharon Tapner
School Council President
