does PSFA stand for?
PTFA
stands for Parents, Staff and Friends Association
for Nonsuch High School for Girls.

of the school and its students
What
does it do?
The
objectives of the PSFA are to work in the best interests of the school
and the girls’ education. In particular
the PSFA helps by

Raising (sadly national funding never covers everything
needed to produce real excellence in education).

Social Events – for both girls and parents.
- Serving
Refreshments at key events/meetings.
- Selling
second hand uniforms.
- Running
a Year 7 Parents Social Evening
- Supporting
the school and improving communication
Our
Yearly Calendar looks roughly like this:
September/October
- AGM
October - Barn Dance
November - Year 7 parents social
December - Christmas Fair
March - Quiz Night
May/June - Treasure Hunt
July School - Uniform sale
 Look
out for details in your termly newsletter or event notification
letter. Please remember to check your daughter's bag and the
school's weekly email each Tuesday.
How
do you join?
In
fact, you don't have to join. All parents automatically become
a member when their daughter joins the school. If you would
like to help, just phone Daksha Ganatra on 01737 352957
Why
have a PSFA?
Most
of us are driven by the fact that we want to help the education
and well-being of our daughters. So we'll do whatever we can
to do just that.
What
does the PSFA do with the funds it raises?
Over
the last few years, it has (at the request of the school)
given funds for the whole range of things such as:
- School
Prize Giving
- New
Computers
- Musical
Instruments
- Camcorders
- New
Library Furniture
- Sports
Equipment
- Refurbished
the language lab
The
major project for 2006/7 is to raise funds to help with the
long awaited refurbishment of the main school hall.
What
is the 200 Club?
The PSFA organises a monthly raffle called the 200 Club. We raise up to
£6,000 each year for school projects (with £6,000 also given
in prize money). The money prizes are given each month. For only £5
per month each parent can buy a number/s 1-200 and a simple raffle takes
place. But if you ain't in it, you can't win it! If you would like to
win up to £500 per month please complete the response form.
Remember,
even if you don’t win, your daughter will!
