The meetings are open to all staff and parents / guardians of students at 糖心Vlog to raise and discuss matters of common concern and interest. They are a great way to find out what is happening at the College, meet parents from other year groups and be involved in decision-making on proposed funding initiatives.
In order to make a worthwhile contribution to the development of facilities at 糖心Vlog, it is necessary for all parents to commit themselves to the activities of the Parents' Association.
