APA’s mission is to foster connections, support the school, and enrich student experiences. Through social activities, collaborative projects, and open dialogue with school leadership, the Parent Association helps strengthen our school community and create lasting memories.
Goals of the Akademeia Parent Association
The APA focuses on building strong partnerships between parents and the school to support students’ academic success, wellbeing, and personal growth. Our key goals include:
- Collaborating with the Headmaster and staff to support student learning, health, and wellbeing.
- Bringing parents’ perspectives into school life in a spirit of cooperation, care, and positivity.
- Providing a forum for discussion, representation, and feedback on school initiatives.
- Encouraging individual contributions and active parental engagement in school life.
APA Initiatives and Events
APA organises a wide variety of events and initiatives throughout the year, including:
- Parent Mixers – Social gatherings for parents from all year groups.
- Christmas Charity Fair – Fundraising through food, drinks, and festive activities.
- Participation in New Family Orientation and Open Days – Supporting new families with information and guidance.
- Family Sports Events – Engaging activities like volleyball matches, promoting fun and teamwork.

Recent APA Highlights
- Spring Parent Mixer – Parents created tulips and festive bunnies alongside Dr Watras and Mr Stefan, connecting with fellow families while crafting seasonal decorations.
- Pierogi-Making Celebration – Families joined Headmaster Dr Watras to roll, fill, and shape pierogi, celebrating Polish tradition and togetherness.

These events exemplify APA’s commitment to community, creativity, and shared experiences. We look forward to welcoming families to more engaging and memorable activities throughout 2026 and beyond.
The APA meets monthly with the Headmaster and school representatives to discuss current school matters in an informal setting. Meetings include an elected executive committee and parent volunteers, providing a space to exchange ideas, contribute initiatives, and work together for the common good.
Parents are encouraged to actively participate—whether joining events, volunteering, or sharing suggestions to enrich our school community.
