PTA Committee monthly Meeting at Eden Angels School,Sanguem : Strengthening the Bond Between Parents and School

Eden Angels Pre Primary and Primary School Sanguem successfully conducted its Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) Committee Meeting on 10th October 2026. The meeting brought together PTA members, teachers and the Headmistress, to discuss upcoming school events, student participation, school publicity, and initiatives to strengthen parent-school collaboration.

The meeting reflected the school's commitment to creating a supportive learning environment where parents and teachers work together for the holistic development of every child.

Active Participation of PTA Members

The meeting was attended by 11 PTA members, 3 teachers, the Headmistress, Chairman Dyneshwar, Vice Chairperson Meusie, and Treasurer Priyanka Barreto.

The discussions focused on upcoming celebrations, arrangements for the Annual Gathering, the Lantern Exposition, fundraising initiatives, and ways to increase awareness about the school in and around Sanguem.

Annual Gathering of Eden Angels School,Sanguem

The Headmistress announced that the theme for the upcoming Annual Gathering would be “Superheroes and Disney.”The programme is expected to provide children with opportunities to showcase their talents, creativity, confidence, and stage presence.

A welcome song by the teachers and Headmistress was proposed for the occasion. PTA members were requested to assist in managing the students during the programme. It was also suggested that practice sessions begin after the examinations during regular school hours.

A parent-child ramp walk was approved as another attraction for the gathering. Members also emphasised the importance of beginning the programme on time to ensure smooth and effective event management.

The final date of the Annual Gathering may be subject to change.

Lantern Competition, Exposition and Bazar Day

One of the major highlights of the meeting was the discussion on the upcoming Lantern Competition and Lantern Exposition.

The PTA members unanimously agreed to the proposal of displaying the lanterns for sale after the competition. It was also decided to organise Bazar Day on the same day as the Lantern Exposition and celebration.

The planned dates are:

• 28th October 2026: Lantern Competition

• 30th October 2026: Lantern Exposition, Celebration, Lantern Sale and Bazar Day

The Vice Chairperson suggested using canvas around the school premises instead of pandals for setting up the lantern displays.

For Bazar Day, children will be encouraged to bring household items such as vegetables, fruits, and sweets, packed in zip-lock bags, for sale. This activity will provide children with an opportunity to develop practical skills, confidence, creativity, and an understanding of basic buying and selling.

Promoting Fairness and Transparency in Competitions

The Headmistress discussed concerns regarding rumours circulating about partiality in the judging of competitions. The matter was raised to encourage confidence, fairness, and transparency in school activities.

The Vice Chairperson suggested inviting external judges rather than relying on school parents for judging competitions. Some members supported the suggestion, while others expressed different views. The discussion highlighted the importance of maintaining trust and impartiality in all school competitions.

Strengthening School Publicity and Community Awareness

The meeting highlighted the need to increase public awareness about Eden Angels Pre Primary and Primary School, as many people in and around Sanguem are still unaware of the school's presence.

Parents suggested displaying larger banners and hoardings at suitable locations to improve the school's visibility and reach more families in the surrounding community.

The school also highlighted its qualified teaching staff, including D.Ed-qualified teachers for the Primary section and Montessori-trained teachers for the Pre-Primary section.

PTA Identity Cards and Fund Management

The Vice Chairperson suggested issuing PTA identity cards at the earliest, with a validity period covering the academic years 2026–27 and 2027–28.

The Treasurer, Priyanka Barreto, recommended opening a separate bank account for PTA funds to support transparent and organised financial management. A contribution of ₹100 from PTA members towards opening the account was proposed.

The following contribution structure was discussed:

• One child: ₹500

• Two siblings: ₹750

• Three siblings: ₹1,000

Parents also suggested exploring fundraising opportunities to support the development and activities of the school.

Looking Ahead: Christmas Celebrations

As part of planning for future activities, the idea of introducing lucky coupons for the Christmas celebration in December was suggested. The proposal will be discussed further at an upcoming meeting.

A Shared Commitment to Educational Excellence

The PTA Committee Meeting concluded at 11:20 AM, with the next meeting scheduled for the last Saturday of November 2026.

The discussions demonstrated the value of active parent participation, open communication, and collective responsibility in school development. Eden Angels Pre Primary and Primary School believes that a strong partnership between parents and educators plays a vital role in nurturing confident, responsible, and well-rounded learners.

Through collaborative planning, engaging activities, and community involvement, the school continues to work towards providing meaningful educational experiences for every child.
