The Parents’ Association (the “PA”) has been running successfully for a number of years. It raises funds to enhance the students’ educational experience as well as providing an important link between parents, guardians or carers and the school. You are automatically a member of the PA as a parent, guardians or carer of a CCHS student.
The PA is made up of parents, guardians or carers who identify, plan and organise events. The PA Committee are members elected to manage the PA on behalf of its members and are legally responsible and accountable for running the association. In addition to the committee, the PA relies on the support of parents, guardians or carers who can donate time to take on specific roles and support events. PA events are a great way to meet other parents, support the school and have a good time.
Examples of some of our recent events follow, but we are always looking for new ideas:
- Quiz Night – always an entertaining night.
