SUMMERWOOD PRIMARY SCHOOL PARENT INVOLVEMENT COMMITTEE
The Parent Involvement Committee (PIC) consists of a very active and dynamic team of parents who give their time, energy and expertise to fundraisings and working in partnership with Summerwood Primary School.
The purpose of the PIC is to foster goodwill between the parents, pupils, staff and School Governing Body and to raise funds for the benefit of the school, providing equipment to promote academic, spiritual and extra-curricular development.
The PIC is dedicated to ensuring that our children receive an optimal education at Summerwood Primary School through a collaborative relationship between parents and teachers for the benefit of the children and the good of the school. The class and grade representatives form a portfolio within our committee. The class representatives will create, maintain and monitor close links with the teachers with the object of sharing the needs of the parents and the teachers.
Many of the events on our calendar have become an annual tradition and are always great fun. They involve not only the children and their families but also the wider Port Elizabeth community.
The annual events include:
-
the Woolworths trolley dash
-
a Golf Day
-
and our very exciting Summerwood Carnival
Parent participation plays a vital role in the success of our school. Not only does it enable our Parent Involvement Committee (PIC) to raise much needed funds, but it also builds on and reflects our strong sense of community.. The positive and lively spirit or these involved parents buoys us all - teachers, learners and parents alike.
