WISPA - Westfields Infant School Parents Association

Registered Charity No: 1119878

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.

Our Core Committee keeps everything running and has three elected positions: Chair, Treasurer and Secretary. We also have three support positions: Vice Chair, Vice Treasurer and Vice Secretary. You’ll find their names below, and you'll probably bump into them at drop-off or pick-up!

Our wider committee help to run events, raise funds and offers ideas, advice and input throughout the year. This group is made up of parents and other family members of children at Westfields Infant School. We create small teams for each event, and also look for ad hoc help through the year if you have less time to spare. Your Class Reps help share info with parents, organise volunteering, and feed back to the core committee. If you’d like to volunteer to become your class rep, please email us at wispacommittee@gmail.com.

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,
