Friends of Harris Primary East Dulwich

The PTA needs you!

We're currently on the lookout for people to fill in some specific committee roles:  

​

• Co-chair - supporting Victoria to organise and manage the day-to-day running of the PTA. This could be getting involved with or leading on special projects, or taking on the responsibility of specific events. The role could be just a sounding board and admin help, or it could be more of a strategic/involved role if you had the time/interest. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 ​

• Quiz Night Leads - coordinating with the MC and Quiz Writer on the day. Organising PTA volunteers for the bar. Co-ordinating drinks orders ahead of time. Sorting out Event Licence ahead of time. All information will be provided. (around 4hrs commitment, in November)

​​

• Bake Sale Leads - coordinating volunteers via WhatsApp, setting up and clearing up on the day. (1 day per term, between 3-5pm)

​​

• Santa Letters Leads - co-ordinating orders with the Comms team and managing the mail merge to get all the letters written and printed. Envelope stuffing and letter deliveries can be done with and army of additional volunteers (around 6hrs, mid-Decemeber)

​​

• Disco Leads - sorting out volunteers, DJ and snack and drinks for the school Disco. Coordinating the events on the day, in partnership with SLT (4-6hrs in January)

​

• Arts Week Leads - sourcing artists for class workshops, co-ordinating a workshop timetable alongside SLT, keeping track of running costs (4-6hrs)

​​

• Comms Team Vacancy - helping the Comms team with making sure the school community know what is happening. We're particularly needing help with social media and design.

​​

• Culture Day Leads - meeting with school staff to help organise the day (though this is 80% done by school). Help to organise and run the Food Feast at the end of the day. Co-ordinate volunteers for the Food Feast. (6-8hrs)

​​

• Ice Cream Fridays Leads - new position! - hoping to do these in the Summer Term instead of Bake Sales. 1-2 hours on two Fridays buying, transporting, cooling and selling ice creams in the playground.

​​

• 2nd Hand Uniform Sale Leads - organising donated uniform (stored in a special shed at school). Setting up and clearing away on the day. Co-ordinating with the school to collect unclaimed Lost Property for sales.

​​

• Fun Run Leads (this is a possibility if someone was willing to take it on) - organising a licence with Southwark Council, co-ordinating with Peckham Rye junior parkrun to use their course and equipment (see Mark & Victoria Edwards), organising volunteers, sponsors, t-shirt designs and the run itself on the day. This would definitely need a team. Very helpful information is available from another local school that has organised very successful Fun Runs (6-10hrs)

​

We welcome EVERYONE - email us on info@friendsofhped.com for more information about the roles. We'd love to hear from you. 

​

If you feel you can't quite commit to a role just yet but would like to join our volunteers WhatsApp group, please follow this link. There's absolutely no commitment in joining the group! We regularly post about volunteering opportunities there. 

​

There are many members of the school community who help make our PTA endeavours a success - all are welcome, and you can contribute as little or as much time and effort as you want.​
