PSG Objectives

The PSG is a non-financial arm of the school’s tripartite and includes a voluntary group comprising parents and guardians who have (or had) children at Fatima College. The PSG’s executive committee includes a President, 2 Vice Presidents, Secretary, Assistant Secretary and the Class Rep Coordinator.  This year we have included an Ordinary Member for proper succession planning purposes. Other members include the Class Reps, parents and guardians.

 

The aims of the PSG are primarily:

  1. To assist the school in all activities

  2. To support and enhance the communication between the school and home, primarily via email.  This is done by a dynamic Class Rep system

  3. To encourage parents to get involved in events and activities hosted by the College.

  4. To source individuals with the requisite knowledge and expertise to develop our children in the highest advantages in physical, mental, social, and spiritual education.

PSG Objectives

The PSG’s main objectives in these events are to raise funds via corporate and/or individual sponsorship, coordinate the events and supply volunteer physical assistance - man power.  

 

The PSG usually meet once a month to discuss different activities that are taking place in the school and all parents and guardians are welcome. It is important to become involved and participate in your son’s school, so we encourage you to attend as often as possible.  Your attendance, input and assistance is always greatly appreciated.  

 

At Fatima, we pride ourselves with keeping parents informed about school related events outside of the classroom and we do his via the Class Reps.

  2. November – The Annual 5k – a mini Marathon where students, parents and friends get to participate in a cool morning run/walk and earn points for the houses.  This has grown in the past years and has encouraged keen rivalry for house points.
