Williamstown High School has enjoyed support from the WHS Parents & Friends Association for many years and we endeavour to continue this proud tradition. Our vision is a school that provides the best for its students.

 

Our broad aims are to;

·         Contribute to a robust and healthy school community, with ties to the wider Western Suburb   Communities.

·         Promote a broad range of opportunities for students, so that they become competent, confident, motivated individuals who contribute positively to the local school, and area.

·         Facilitate communication between parents, the school and the broader community.

·         Encourage good citizenship among students by providing Annual Citizenship Awards to a boy and girl in each year level.

·         Raise funds to assist a variety of school programs and facilities. WHS PFA meets monthly and provides an informal venue for parents and friends to support teachers and students of Willi High.The meetings are fun, informative and fairly brief! You are able to air concerns, chat with other parents and enjoy listening to our occasional guest speakers, including the Campus Principals. This provides a good opportunity to discuss various school issues, and be part of the exciting plans for the future.

 

Currently we work to:

  • Continue to support the school house system.
  • Offer Citizenship Awards of $60 - $100 for a girl and boy student in each year level, as annual PFA awards.
  • Demonstrate parents' appreciation of our hard-working teachers by providing an annual "thankyou" afternoon tea.
  • Organise the Second Hand Book sale at the end of every year.
  • Have regular meetings inviting guest teachers to speak addressing a range of issues.
  • Organise a range of social, and fundraising activities and functions to support various school programs, initiatives and facilities, including (hopefully) in 2009, a whole-school Art Show.
