What is the PSA?
The Westgate Parent School Association (PSA) has one simple aim, which is "to advance the education of the pupils of the school." We achieve this by:
- Raising money to directly support projects agreed with the school, which range from the gifts for the Pupil Reward Scheme to trampolines and CCTV.
- Fostering a strong school community by organising social events throughout the year to give parents the chance to meet.
- Supporting school events by providing refreshments.
The PSA is run by a committee, which you can join if you are the parent or guardian of a pupil at the school or a member of the school staff. This Committee meets about 6 times a year, to plan major fundraising events (such as the Christmas Bazaar and Auction of Promises) and social events ( Year 7 Family Evening, quiz nights and Staff v Parents Cricket Match and Badminton Tournament). Meetings are in the early evening, lasting about an hour.
How can you get involved?
- By attending the events the PSA organises and bringing along your family and friends
- Joining the Westgate 100 club – supporting the school and giving yourself a chance of a cash prize
- Donating raffle prizes or items for events or preparing food. Requests for donations are published in the regular PSA newsletters and on the website
- Joining the PSA Committee
- Helping out at events (with no need to attend the committee meetings).
