PARENT INVOLVEMENT AT SOMERSET COLLEGE

HOW PARENTS SUPPORT LEARNING AT SOMERSET COLLEGE

PARENTS’ ASSOCIATION
OUR ROLE AND FOCUS: The Parents’ Association (PA) is a dedicated team of volunteer parents. We work to support Somerset College and build a strong community among families. The PA is not a decision-making body. Instead, we enhance the school experience by leveraging the energy and talents of all parents. Our main focus areas are:
  • Building strong connections.
  • Ensuring effective communication.
  • Supporting school events and initiatives.
COMMUNICATION

The PA maintains a strong network through Class and Grade Representatives in both the Junior and Senior schools.

These representatives are a vital link between parents and the school. Most communication is shared through closed WhatsApp groups.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Parent volunteers are essential to our success. They help organise many fun school events, including:

  • Class and grade social gatherings.
  • The festive Family Picnic Concert.
  • Fun quiz nights and bake sales.
  • The annual Golf & Boules Day.

Volunteers also assist at sports events, school plays and special occasions like Valentine’s Day, Spring Day and Teachers’ Appreciation Day.

All parents are encouraged to get involved. Simply reach out to your child’s class or grade representative, or contact the PA team directly.
