PARENT PORTAL
Welcome to the Parental Portal. Here you will find Policies and Forms, Term dates as well as information on the Parents’ Association Committee and the Fundraising Committee. Southern Cross Schools not only welcomes parental participation in the school, but also relies upon the fund raising abilities of these volunteer parents to further develop the school facilities such as sport fields, pool, tennis courts, etc over the years.
PARENTS ASSOCIATION (PA)
The SCS PA is a vibrant body that represents all parents of children attending any phase of Southern Cross Schools. The chairperson of the PA is an ex-officio member of the SCS Board of Governors.
The PA meets on the first Thursday of each month during term time and all parents (not just the PA Committee members) are invited to attend. Meetings are held at 7:30am in the Leadwood Lapa (boarding house)
The Parents Association has established a dedicated email address should anyone want to bring an issue pertaining to SCS to our attention. The email address is scsparentbody@gmail.com.
The role of the SCS PA is set out in more detail in the attached document.
We encourage all parents to engage with us as your PA.
FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE
The Fundraising Committee is composed of parents and dedicated supporters of Southern Cross School. This committee raises about R250 000 per year in its fundraising efforts, these include our annual Auction, the Golf Day and the Big Walk as well as various other initiatives. If you can and want to help, please contact Jurie Moolman – jurie@djuma.co.za.
