Updated March 8, 2022
GAAPA is an all-volunteer association, which is run by parents just like you and me. Our role, in partnership with the school, is to promote the culture of kindness, enhance the educational experience and well-being of our children, and encourage a sense of community through a variety of events and activities throughout the year.
I invite each and every one of you to join our GAA community. Without people to run and take charge of events they do not happen. Your participation will have a positive influence on every student at GAA, and will provide you an opportunity to connect with friends, parents and teachers outside of a classroom setting. The larger our community, the greater our impact.
I know your time is valuable, but if you are interested in helping, there are countless ways to get involved and we will find a role that fits your availability and your interests.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. Together, we can make this a phenomenal year!

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:
