PCC News: 15 October 2020
PCC would like to welcome all new and returning parents to the 2020-21 school year. We are certainly faced with an unusual school year ahead as the Covid-19 pandemic has brought many challenges globally and to our school community. This year, the PCC is working to find opportunities to preserve and sustain our traditional activities through innovative ways given the new realities of social distancing and limited gathering, we need your support to continue helping our community so we encourage you to reach out to us with ideas on our main mailbox pcc@thebsbh.com.
We are starting the new academic year with open vacancies within the PCC team
The Parent Community Committee strives to be the link between parents and the school; a forum in which to share and generate ideas, a means to communicate news and a platform for social activities organised within the BSB.
The Parent Community Committee (PCC) consists of 15 parent representatives, 1 for each year (Nursery to Y13). We currently have vacancies for Nursery, Y3, Y4, Y6 and Y13
Parent representatives are responsible for organising a number of social events throughout the year, with the help of volunteering parents from their respective year groups.
Parent representatives are not part of the BSB executive board and it is not within their remit to act as a voice for individual students – parents should continue to make contact with teachers directly for this.
If you feel you can contribute in a positive and enthusiastic way to the PCC and our BSB community and are currently a parent with a child in Nursery, Y3, Y4, Y6 or Y13 - please fill in the form below:
Best regards,
PCC | The British School of Bahrain
