The Association called " St. John the Baptist High School Parents Teachers Association " was introduced by Rev. Fr. Ivan Mascarenhas in 1996.
Every parent would be encouraged to become its members and support its activities, all of which were to be service oriented and within the framework of the school requirements as determined by the Management.
The School Manager or the Chairman of the School Governing Body would be the ex-officio Patron of the PTA. The word "Parents" includes "Guardians", whose name has been notified to the School.
THE RATIONALE & OBJECTS: The Parents at home and Teachers at School look after the development of the child in different though somewhat overlapping fields. It is in the interest of the child's personality that this development should be harmonious. Mutual understanding between parents and teachers is plainly imperative. Besides, parents often have the feeling that School function in a manner oblivious of the parent's viewpoint. This at times may give rise to some misunderstanding. On the other hand teachers often have a feeling that parent should be more co-operative. The Association therefore endeavors:
- To promote, maintain
and develop opportunities for meeting
and contacts between parents and teachers;
and among parents themselves.
- To establish means
of communication and exchange of the viewpoints
of both, on matter of general importance
to the education and development of the
children.
- To organize debates,
seminars and group discussion on all topics
connected with the education and development
of the children.
- To assist parents
in solving the collective problems of
the School and to assist the School and
its staff in solving the general and individual
problems of the children at home.
- To found scholarship
and prizes for each class.
- To assist the School
Management in raising funds in the name
of the School and for the School's needs.
MANAGEMENT OF THE ASSOCIATION:
- The affairs of the
Association are managed by an Executive
Committee.
- The accounts of the
association are audited at the end of
every financial year and read at the Annual
General Body Meeting.
