Parents’ Association
Vaunukankaan Koti-kouluyhdistys r.y.(switch to another service) is an association founded and maintained by parents for pupils and parents of Vaunukankaan School. Its purpose is to serve as a forum for discussing matters of mutual interest to the school and parents and, within the limits of available resources, to support the school’s extracurricular and excursion activities.
In recent years, for example, the association has covered the costs of the entire school’s spring trip. The association raises funds through joint events organised several times during the school year, such as evening gatherings, theatre performances, flea markets and volunteer work. At the same time, the aim is to combine fun and practical benefits.
In principle, all parents of pupils at the school are potential members of the Home-School Association. Membership does not entail any obligations, and the association does not charge a membership fee.
The association has a board, which is elected once a year at the autumn meeting. The board members are responsible for the association’s activities and related matters.
