The Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is a platform for families to share views with the Governors (in this case the Zarząd) and Educational Leaders. The PTA gathers viewpoints from parents about the school's work, informs the educational and business leaders of concerns, asks questions, and provides an opportunity for leaders to explain important decisions. The Chair will be a parent, and one parent per class is nominated and, in the event of multiple nominations, elected by a simple majority of parents from each class. The PTA also organizes social events to integrate and support the growth of our community. The Chair leads these activities and is provided with secretarial support by the school. A senior member of staff, or a nominated representative, attends all PTA activity organization meetings on behalf of the school.
