PTFA Policies
To provide clarity to parents and streamline understanding for volunteers, the below policies were agreed at the 2018 AGM.
Operational:
- Food continues rain or shine - If an event is rained-out or rescheduled for any reason, food will still be provided on the same day at school.
- Volunteers Essential - If a Lead Coordinator or adequate volunteer support can’t be found (or pulls out) then the activity/event will be cancelled.
Strategic:
- Sustainable involvement cycle – the PTFA needs to be a self-fulfilling legacy, a team of people who are constantly evolving. A work load shared, having fun supporting our school. The intention is for key roles to be undertaken for two years, after which time the lead person(s) will move into a coaching role only.
- Continuous improvement - The PTFA strives to continuously improve everything we do, from processes to quality of food and service. This enhances both our effectiveness to the school and volunteer satisfaction.
You are the PTFA’s most valuable asset
Everyone in our community has something to offer. Without a lot of people adding a little bit of value the PTFA is incapable of carrying out plans for the year and ultimately incapable of providing support to our fabulous school.
Let’s work together and achieve great things for our school in 2018 and beyond.
Please email the PTFA if you’re able to be involved in any way
