The Friends of
Oakwood School group or FOO is made up of parents who organize various fun activities for the children and parents throughout the year and provide a link
between class parents and school about general areas of concern and suggestions
for improvement.
The FOO was
formed:
- To foster friendship between the parents, staff, pupils and all those who come into contact with the school
- To promote and support the School
- To enhance the standards of the School's buildings, grounds and equipment through fundraising activities
- To organise fun events that can be enjoyed by pupils, parents and staff
Monthly
informal meetings are held in the Library after Friday Assembly (usually the
first Friday of each month). The dates
for these meeting can be found in the school calendar, on the School website and on
the School noticeboard. One FOO meeting
a term is held in the evening to include those who are not able to attend
during the day for work reasons.
Each class has
a representative, or sometimes two people who decide to share responsibilities
such as:
- Welcoming new pupils and parents
- Attending meetings with school management (once a term)
- Disseminating information from the school that is class specific
- Organising parent social events
- Attending monthly FOO meetings and promoting FOO events to class parents
- Organising end of term/year teacher gifts etc.
These reps work
on a voluntary basis, usually for a year and it can be a great way for new
parents to get to know other parents, pupils and staff members.
Should you be
interested in becoming a class rep for your class In September 2013, please
