Parents and Teachers Working Together
waa@warwickacad.bm

The Warwick Academy Parent Teacher Association (WAPTA) is an organization of parents, teachers, alumni, staff, relatives and interested parties with the common goal of encouraging, promoting and supporting efforts of the students and programs of the school.

The WAPTA has embraced fundraising as its primary objective and to this end each year the WAPTA hosts various interesting events. The proceeds assist Warwick Academy in areas beyond the reach of the school’s operating budget. The success of the events directly affects the number of projects and programs that can be considered for funding, and to date the WAPTA has funded several new initiatives for both the Primary and Secondary Departments.

In addition to its fundraising undertakings, the WAPTA President has a seat on the school’s Board of Governors and represents the parents’ perspectives and concerns on school issues.

The Constitution of the WAPTA describes in detail that the purposes and functions of the organization will be:

• To encourage and further communication and co-operation between home, school and alumni;
• To communicate to members information about the school;
• To consider matters that are of concern to the Board of Governors, the Principal, members of the    staff, students, parents or members of the Association;
• To raise funds for special programmes, resources and projects,and
• To promote, encourage and support efforts to maintain and further the education and well being   of the students.

The Management of the Association is vested in an Executive Committee consisting of a President, two Vice Presidents, a Treasurer, a Secretary and an Assistant Secretary as well as six Members at Large, the Principal and the Head of the Primary Department of Warwick Academy as ex-officio members and at least two appointed teacher representatives.
