AGM is typically held once a year by GAA Parent Association to enlighten our Community about activities and the financial status of GAAPA for the academic year. We were unable to hold it in the past two years due to COVID-19 restrictions.

During the upcoming meeting you will find out about:

2020-2021 and 2021-2022 school years’ activities organized/supported by GAAPA
Year-end financial status of GAAPA
GAAPA Elections for 2022-2023 academic year - with COVID restrictions beginning to lift, we are expecting an awesome year for our GAA community! GAAPA is a great opportunity to get involved in your school community and get to know other parents. Please consider sharing your talents and experience. If you are interested, please fill out this form: GAAPA 2022-2023 Interest Form

COMMUNITY

RESOURCE GUIDE

We present to you GAAPA Community Resource Guide, compiled with the help of our members, fellow GAA families.

We understand the struggles each family faces when moving to a new country, new school, new residence, as we have all been through the same. It is only natural that we want to support each other as a Community.

This website is designed to provide that helpful information for all our community members. Your feedback and contribution will be highly appreciated to make sure that information is accurate and up-to-date. You can recommend your resource by clicking below link:

PARENT WHATSAPP GROUPS

Dear GAA Families,

This school year has been a challenge for sure! In order to help connect our families we have started WhatsApp Groups for each grade level. This is a good place to ask questions, get information, etc. We do ask that these groups are only used for school purposes and stay positive. We want to help develop a great community at GAA and the pandemic has made it challenging. We hope these groups will help. If you would like to join, please email our Parent Ambassadors for the link at gaa.parentsteam@gmail.com
