About us:
The PTA Committee is made up of 12 parent volunteers, 3 members of teaching staff and the school principal. To see who is on the committee now click here. All Kennedy School students benefit from the PTA’s activities, and your participation is vital to the ongoing enhancement of your child’s education and we look forward to your continued support. All contributions to the PTA are most welcome and parents can do this in different ways. Some give their time freely, others make monetary donations, some donate raffle prizes while others help out as and when they can. All are very important and benefit the students of Kennedy School.
Some of the PTA activities with Kennedy School include:
- School buses – used by over two thirds of the school’s students.
- On site uniform shop
- Annual issue of the school student directory free to all families
- Weekly e-newsletter sent to all families
- Production of the school calendar
- Organising and running the various social events which not only constitute the majority of the fund raising but are a lot of fun - eg Halloween BBQ, Christmas Night Market and Raffle, Nature Trail, Art Exhibition and Auction…
- Representation on the School Council – 1 PTA member is elected to sit on the Council, which oversees the governance of the school.
- Provision of leaving gifts to P6 students
- Provision of Christmas gifts to P1 and P2 students
- Organisation of the New Parents’ Coffee Morning
- Allocation of funds to the school “Wish List” to enable the school to purchase a wide spectrum of equipment for various departments, or finance refurbishments not funded by the ESF.
Recent examples of the PTA’s contribution to school include: Interactive whiteboards in classrooms, the new school library, the new playground equipment and climbing walls, and the sound system in the school hall.
