Your current executive members:

Our objectives:

The Parents Association aims to raise funds to enhance the facilities for current and future students. At the same time, it enables parents to socialise through the school events that it organises throughout the year. During the school year you will receive updates from the Parents Association via our social media platforms. Also keep an eye out for our page on the school website Beths Grammar School Parents Association and in the school blog (weekly VIP newsletter).

Thank you to all families who are generously supporting our fundraising activities.

Why not get involved as Chair, Vice Chair or simply a trustee to make a difference?

Beths Parents Association needs new members joining to ensure the succession of the present executive members. Please contact us via email: beths.parents.association@gmail.com or simply come at the  PA AGM (Annual General Meeting). 

Why not get involved and raise much needed funds to improve our children’s educational opportunities? Come and meet us at the coming fundraising events. We have our annual meeting in October when new members can join to serve on the PA.
