The POA Committee is a team of friendly parents covering all year groups, who come from a range of professional backgrounds. We volunteer our time to help support the school with the key objective of creating an inclusive community and enhancing learning experiences 💜
The Committee is super welcoming and we’d love you to consider joining, so here’s a bit more info…
What does the Committee do?
- Support fundraising initiatives by assisting with planning, promotion, and event delivery.
- Volunteer at events and help coordinate other volunteers where needed.
- Each member should be part of an event planning group or lead on key POA initiative.
- Attend regular (one per term) meetings and contribute to discussions and decision-making.
- Support the responsible use of POA funds adhering to our Constitution and process.
- Encourage Aldrington community to get involved. Always!
Meet some of the Committee and see what they have to say 😊
How much time does it involve?
On a weekly basis, not much! But depending on which events/initiatives you lead on this will vary.
Events are spaced through the school year and some timings can be adjusted to ensure availability. But each event, has 5-10 event planners – so you’ll not be alone!
The level of involvement depends on individual availability, but active participation is encouraged to help the POA achieve its goals.
