The elections of 17 new members of the Parents Association Management Committee will be held on Friday, 26 September 2024. The Management committee usually meets once a month for a 3-hour meeting at school (from 18:00 to 21:00). The time dedication of each member depends on the working groups he or she is collaborating with.

We hope to be able to count on a sufficient number of parents to continue the work of all the working groups and even expand our working groups with new ideas in order to improve the well-being of our children in school. Without new members at MC, some of the working groups will have to stop functioning and some of the services might stay without the necessary attention and supervision from MC side. For example, we can no longer circulate the minutes of the AMPA MC nor management meetings, we can no longer assist you in canteen and transport questions, we can no longer represent you in the Education Councils, etc.

We encourage all parents and guardians to run for the next elections of the AMPA’s Management Committee by filling out this form.
The period for submission of applications will be from 5 until 22 September 2024. Your application will be published on the AMPA website so as to inform all members.

The work of the MC is divided into different groups that cover various areas.

• Management Board. Every year the posts of the president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer are elected between the members of the Management Committee. President and vice-president are participating in all the meetings with the school management, and are members of the Administrative Board of the School. A volunteer is needed for Secretary’s post!
• Canteen. From the 2023/2024 school year, the school is in charge of managing the organization of the school canteen service for all grades including the Chispa.
