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.
WAPTA is a fund-raising committee that plays an instrumental role in providing supplies and educational support to Warwick Academy. Each year WAPTA raises funds to support a wide range of school initiatives. WAPTA has raised money for instructional technology, books, playground and gymnastic equipment and classroom enhancements for our children.
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 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, 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.
