WISPA - Westfields Infant School Parents Association

Registered Charity No: 11119878

Welcome to WISPA – Westfields Infant School Parents Association.

Thank you for visiting the WISPA page. WISPA is the Parents Association for Westfields Infant School and we take an active role in trying to raise additional funds for the school. These funds are used for things that the school budget can't stretch to but that enrich the learning environment for your children. In the past we have paid for our library refurbishment, new large colourful rugs in all classrooms, new computer equipment, the Westie Bears that each child receives in Year R and gifts from Santa at Christmas time.

This year we are raising money for improvements to the courtyard garden amongst other projects.

We welcome any involvement (big or small!) of parents, carers, grandparents, family members that would like to be involved.

We have a core committee with three main elected positions that are a legal requirement for us as a charity - Chair, Secretary and Treasurer.

We also have a wider general committee that help run individual events, organise banking and marketing, run events or simply offer ideas, advice and input as needed.

There are also nominated class representatives, usually 1-2 per class. This role is to act as liaison between parents and the committee, to send reminders of WISPA events and to enlist the help of parents or other family members for larger events as required.

The AGM is held either at the end of the summer term or the beginning of the autumn term and then subsequent evening meetings are held 1-2 times termly at the school, to plan future fundraising events and to discuss how money will be spent.

We appreciate that some parents are unable to attend these meetings however your contribution of help, encouragement and new ideas are very much welcomed throughout the school year. We also have opportunities to volunteer help with things like wrapping gifts for our Secret Santa gift sale or helping to set-up for an event. You may also work for a company that offers match funding - we would love to hear from you if you do!

Please feel free to contact us with any suggestions on wispacommittee@gmail.com, via our WISPA Facebook page or through the committee members and class reps at any time.

Kind regards
