Churchie Parents Advisory Association

Upcoming general meeting

The next general meeting of the CPAA is on Sunday 29 September 2024 at 4 pm in Nichols Theatre located in the Stanley and May Smith Science Centre. Each year, one of our meetings is held on the day boarders return from holidays to enable our further-flung parents to attend in person. It is a great opportunity for day and boarding parents to share the afternoon and we look forward to seeing many parents there. The agenda will be released shortly.

CPAA Executive membership in 2025

While all Churchie parents are automatically general members of the CPAA, there is also a CPAA Executive body, which meets one to two times per term to provide parent input and advice directly to the School Executive and School Council on matters of strategic and practical importance. In 2024, the CPAA Executive worked with the School in relation to fundraising policy, the master building plan, cocurricular support, volunteer engagement and boarding provision, among other topics.

The Executive is appointed by the School Council and consists of two representatives from the Prep School, Years 7 to 9, Years 10 to 12, boarding and cocurricular support groups, and one representative from Parent Connect. Members are appointed for 12 months at a time, with a maximum term of four years. The Constitution is available on myChurchie on the CPAA page.

Are you interested in joining the CPAA Executive in 2025? Nominations are now open, and we encourage all interested parents to apply by completing the document at this link and returning it to cpaa@churchie.com.au by Friday 25 October 2024. Our current Chair, Angela Rae, would be happy to talk further if you would like more information—she can be contacted at agrae@burnettlane.com.au.
