Parents’ Association

Welcome to the Parents’ Association (PA) page.

The aim of ÁñÁ«¹ÙÍø Boys Grammar School Parents’ Association is toÌýdevelop andÌýextendÌýrelationships between the staff, parents and others associated with the school and to advance the education of students through raising additional funds.

When your child joins ÁñÁ«¹ÙÍø, you, as parents, are also joining a community, and the school’s Parents’ Association and Parents’ Council are at the heart of this.


PA MEETINGS

Everyone is welcome to attend these meetings.Ìý
