Overview

The RVPTA is made up of a number of key roles.  These roles and their associated responsibilities are set out below.  Together the Officers lead the PTA and co-ordinate fundraising and events.  Officer roles are allocated at the Annual General Meeting.  Please note that in some cases there may be an element of flexibility within a role to suit an individual.
The RVSA Officers are supported by a wider team of PTA Committees.  Members of the Committees contribute to monthly meetings, plan events and help out regularly.  Our Committee Members are invaluable – without them our fayres, discos, cake sales, story times and other events simply wouldn’t happen.
The Officers and Committee Members are, in turn, supported by a wider network of RVSA Supporters.  Our Supporters may not be able to attend our monthly meetings (although everyone is always welcome) or get involved in the planning of events but nevertheless give us their valuable support.  They occasionally lend a hand by helping out for an hour at an event, baking a cake or even looking after the children so that others are free to help out. Their support is essential.
