About the PTA
Overview
Welcome to the Peak School Parent Teachers Association!
The Peak School Parent Teachers Association (hereinafter: PTA) is led by the Executive Committee, a group of highly motivated and dedicated volunteers. The principal activities of the Association are to improve educational outcomes by raising funds and facilitating relationship between the school teachers and the parents of students.
The PTA relies on income from PTA fees, services, fundraising events, and donations from the community, to fund additional school initiatives. All parents at Peak School are required to become members of the PTA and pay an annual membership fee.
Key PTA Activities and Services
- Supporting the school and community through investment in educational and community resources.
- Organising social events to foster a vibrant and active school community.
- Supporting the school’s Class Parents
We encourage all parents of Peak School students to actively participate by volunteering their time and skills school events, donating funds to support the PTA initiatives, or by becoming a member of the PTA Executive Committee.
Executive Committee
The Executive Committee (EC) of the PTA is made up of Parent Representatives, Teacher Representatives, and the School Principal. Parent representatives need to be nominated by existing EC members and are then elected each year during the Annual General Meeting (AGM), or in one of the PTA Executive Committee meetings. From the pool of Parent Representatives, the EC elects a Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson, Treasurer and a Secretary. The EC convenes approximately every 6 weeks.
The Chairperson of the PTA, is also a member of the Committee of Parents (COMPAR), which comprises all ESF School PTA Chairpersons, as well as the ESF Senior Executives.The COMPAR meets regularly to give advice and comment on affairs of the ESF Foundation as a whole.
The PTA also nominates one parent representative to sit on the Peak School Council, which is effectively the governing body of Peak School. In recent years, the Chairperson of the PTA has been this representative. Peak School parents can also elect one additional parent to be a 2nd member of the School Council. This election might be organised by the School Council and not the PTA.
