Dear Parents and Guardians, 

We would like to inform you of the upcoming GAAPA Annual General Meeting (AGM) which will be held on May 5th, 2023 at 8am at the Planetarium. 

The agenda will be as follows: 

• Reports of activities 

• Account report 

• Election of the Executive Committee

As all parents and guardians are members of the school GAAPA, you are encouraged to attend and participate in the meeting, it is a perfect way of finding out what the board team have been up to and also what plans have been suggested for the coming year. 

We encourage each and every one of you to become a part of our team.

In doing so, you also help us but there are many more advantages: 

• By becoming a board member, you’ll be demonstrating to your child the importance you place on education.

• By volunteering with your board, you gain valuable experiences and personal confidence. It’s an opportunity to put your skills and hobbies to good use, for a good cause.

• GAAPA functions provide opportunities to meet other parents and teachers.

• GAAPA is a forum for exchanging ideas, attending the Association meetings throughout the year to make suggestions, and provide your input. 

The executive committee is composed of Elected positions (Chairperson, Vice-chairperson, Secretary, Treasurer) and appointed positions. 

The following Elected positions are open to election for the coming year and you can also join us by applying for an appointed position.
