Wellesley Parents’ Association

Families are the very heart of our school. The Wellesley Parents’ Association (WPA) is a group of Wellesley parents who foster that sense of community and help families to engage with and support school events, building lasting relationships with each other and staff, ensuring that the school always feels like a ‘big little family’.

The WPA works with the School and Foundation to support their initiatives and events.  For example, coordinating wonderful parent volunteers for special events like Grandparents’ Day, Athletics Days BBQs and ARTBOURNE, and helping run events like the school Sunday Funday. Recently, the WPA facilitated the redevelopment of the school’s playground which was opened in June 2021. During the year, the WPA are involved in amongst other activities the Athletics Days, ARTBOURNE, Grandparent’s Day, Fundraising, Disco’s and the Runathon.
