To ensure regular communication and coordination, PTA meetings will be conducted on the last Saturday of every month at the school premises.

Role of the PTA

The committee discussed the important role parents can play in supporting the school.

The PTA may provide suggestions and recommendations concerning the welfare, development and improvement of the school. At the same time, it was clarified that final decisions concerning school matters will remain with the school management.

This understanding will help maintain a constructive and cooperative relationship between parents and the school.

PTA Participation in School Events

The participation of PTA members in major school programmes was also discussed.

Tr. Dona raised a query regarding the role of PTA members during important events such as Sports Day, Annual Gathering and other school programmes.

The members discussed the need for better coordination and meaningful participation of parents during such events.

PTA Fees and Management of Funds

The collection and management of PTA fees was another important topic discussed during the meeting.

It was suggested that PTA fees be collected annually and maintained in a separate PTA account, under the responsibility of the Treasurer.

The committee also discussed consideration for families having more than two children studying in the school, whereby PTA fees may be collected for one child only.

An annual PTA contribution of ₹500 per student was suggested.

Utilisation of PTA Funds

The appropriate utilisation of PTA funds was discussed by the members.

It was suggested that PTA funds could support activities and programmes such as:

• Teachers' Day celebrations

• Children's Day celebrations

• School decorations

• Competitions

• Other approved student and school activities

Any utilisation of the funds would be undertaken with the approval of the PTA and school management.

Parent Participation in Competitions

The PTA suggested that parents may be permitted to witness selected school competitions wherever appropriate.

The members felt that allowing parents to observe such activities could help create greater awareness about the children's participation, talents and achievements and strengthen parent-school engagement.

Star Award of the Month

The committee also discussed a matter concerning the Star Award of the Month, along with a health-related concern raised by Mrs. Meusie.

Tr. Rose was called upon to provide the necessary clarification regarding the matter.

School Canteen and Healthy Food

The school canteen was another important topic of discussion.

The PTA suggested that the canteen should be made available regularly or that food items should be planned on a rotational basis.

A suggested rotation included:

• Chapati – 2 days

• Bread items – 2 days

• Fruits – 2 days

The members further suggested avoiding pastries and chocolates and encouraging homemade and nutritious food options for students.

The discussion reflected the PTA's concern about promoting healthy eating habits among children.

But running and maintaining a regular supply of food in the canteen will be difficult as of now and as the childrens are small it was decided not to go with the canteen as of now.

Fancy Dress Competition

The committee discussed an issue concerning the Fancy Dress Competition. The matter was considered by the members with the aim of ensuring better planning, communication and coordination for future competitions.

Annual Gathering

The members were informed that the school's Annual Gathering will be held at Ravindra Bhavan, Curchorem.

The upcoming programme is expected to provide students with an opportunity to showcase their talents and participate in various cultural and educational activities.

Towards the conclusion of the meeting, Chairperson Mr. Dayaneshwar Naik proposed that the Headmistress, Mrs. Nasima Sayed, be honoured and appreciated for her contribution and leadership as the Headmistress of the school.

The proposal reflected the appreciation and recognition of the Headmistress's efforts towards the development of the school.
