A4A (Activities 4 Activities)
A4A is a parent-driven initiative that enables new and diverse activities for students. Parents host fun activities for other parents, students and the community in order to raise funds, supporting new and varied experiences for TGSHS students. The program taps into the skills and interests of the community to support engagement, entrepreneurial leadership, creativity, innovation and well-being. A short video and further details are available on the school website.
How does it work?
Parents (or others) volunteer to run “activities” for parents, and/or children and staff. Activities can be run anywhere, including at school. A small per-person fee is paid by participants. Activities are as diverse as human interests: DIY gift-making, wood-fired pizza, gardening, bicycle maintenance, yoga, cricket, soccer, programming for kids, pottery, photography, iPhone skills and treasure hunts are all possible.
How is money raised?
Costs are covered by the activity. Sometimes school resources/facilities enable the activity, and sometimes local businesses support activities. The P&C approve activities, arrange insurance, support bookings, disburse collected monies, and report annually.
