Parents, Teacher & Friends Association
The St John's College PTFA is multi-talented, fun-loving group of past and present parents who meet on a monthly basis to discuss and plan various activities associated with the College.
Our aims are to:
-
strengthen community spirit,
-
support the College in informing parents of school related issues and curriculum developments,
-
help in raising funds to provide improved facilities and other curriculum "extras" for our sons,
-
provide practical support through catering and hosting school events, and
-
bring any parents' concerns to the attention of the Board of Trustees.
Fundraising is not the central focus of this PTFA as we feel it is more about being part of a community and lending a helping hand when and where it is needed.
Involvements in the college and community include:
-
Catering for Report Evenings, Silent Art Auction and Music Evenings,
-
Facilitating the Second Hand Uniform sales through the College Newsletter,
-
Presenting parental concerns to the Board of Trustees and Ministry of Education,
-
Co-ordinating the biannual Cultural Review at the Academy of Performing Arts,
-
Small fundraising ventures,
-
Providing feedback on the Strategic Plan and other College issues,
-
Making funds available for "extra" curriculum needs,
-
Co-ordinating the Yr 13 Leavers Dinner.
MEMBERSHIP is open to any parents willing to give of their time and energy and a great way to meet other interested parents. If you cannot commit but would love to help out occasionally, please ask to have you name placed on our supporters' list so that we can contact you. You can also have the minutes of our meetings emailed or posted out to you - just let us know.
