Currently the team is very small which limits what we can do. Cleary we are all volunteers, and have our own busy lives and therefore do not have unlimited hours to devote to the school. Our meetings are very informal and attendance is appreciated rather than expected. Each of us contributes what we can to forthcoming events, but no-one is asked to take on more than they are prepared to take on. But with more people, more can be shared out and more achieved.
Meetings are typically held on a Tuesday morning at 09.00 – drop off the children and then head to the kitchen for a coffee. There is no need to meet every week so dates of the next meeting will be communicated through the weekly newsletter.
We appreciate, though, that people may be working full time or have other commitments which prohibit meeting attendance. We would love to build up a list of people that are willing to help out ad-hoc to support us. This could include things such as:
- being willing to bake a cake for sale at one of the events
- helping out with some of the classroom activities such as preparing craft activities in your own time at home
- being able to donate a couple of hours of your time to help set-up prior to an event
- having experience of fund-raising and willing to contribute ideas and suggestions
- having a particular skill or contacts that can be used by the HSA.
Thus, if you are willing to be someone we can call on, please give your name to the office. Alternatively, we would love to see you at one of the Tuesday morning meetings. If all you can give is ideas, then we would love to hear them. |
