PaFA
We are very fortunate to have an active and successful Parents and Friends Association here at Christ Church; a reflection of the strong community spirit that exists at our school.PaFA is a charity organisation composed of parents, carers, family members and friends of the school. Membership is open to anyone who wishes to support the school. We have two aims:
- to provide social events for pupils, parents, carers and other family members;
- to raise funds which are used to provide a wide range of educational resources and experiences for the children.
We have an active team who run a number of events throughout the year:
- Christchurch Virtual Pet Show
- Tuck Shops
- Sponsored events
- Hever Castle Triathlon
- Christmas/Summer Fayre
- Easter Event
- Movie Night
- Bingo & Quiz Nights
- Discos
The PaFA committee team consists of a Chair, Vice-Chair, Treasurer and Secretary.
