All our parents are invited to join the Friends of
Westbourne.

The 'Friends of Westbourne' Society consists of
about 25 mums, usually two or three from each year group, who
volunteer to join the committee and become class reps. The class
reps also are a valuable source of support and information for new
parents to help them to really feel part of the
school.
Westbourne has always been known as a very friendly school
and Friends of Westbourne try to do their bit to ensure this
continues.
Our main aim is to provide fun social events for both
pupils and parents. These include mums' nights out to local
restaurants, the annual black tie Ball, whole family events where
the children are entertained and the parents can get to know each
other better.
Anyone can volunteer to join the committee and if you have
recently joined the school it's a great way to get to know
people.
Our aim is to organise School social events for both parents and
pupils, funds raised by FOW contribute to non-essential items for
pupils across the school, for example we have recently provided
funding for two ovens and two sewing machines for junior school,
and are a present aiming to provide an Apple Mac computer for both
the junior and senior pupils to use over in the Senior School
building.
The committee is led by, Chairperson Mrs Sargent and Vice
Chairperson Mrs Davies.
The workload is not onerous, we have one meeting a term
and we usually organise one large scale and one smaller scale event
per term. It's a matter of hours of work per term, rather than days
and we certainly try to ensure we have a good time whilst we are
doing it!"
If you are a new parent wanting more information on school life
or would like to become involved with FoW please don't
hesitate to contact us. We'd love to hear from you.
