The Parents' Association
The Association is the conduit between the parents and the School.
The Parents’ Association (PA) meets about 10 times a year and helps the School with decisions and events that involve the parents.
While the Committee members are elected in September of each school year, all parents are members of the Association and are welcome to attend any Parents' Association meeting.
The Parents' Association's funding is derived from parents’ subscriptions (part of each first term account), the fees raffle (run every term), profits from the Uniform Shop and a very small profit from the Canteen. Both the Canteen and the Uniform Shop depend on volunteer parents to help the staff run them.
Each year the major outgoings are grants for the School, for which teachers must apply. They include professional development for individual staff, artists in residence, capital projects and skills development.

Meetings
Meetings are held on a regular basis in the Senior School Staffroom. The meetings for 2009 will be posted on the School Diary when they have been finalised.
