Parents' Committee

Education is a shared partnership between parents and Ashbury College.

The Ashbury Parents' Committee (PC) acts as an advisory group and sounding board for the Headmaster, the Assistant Headmasters, and the Head of Junior School. It provides a vital link between the school and the parent community by:

• providing the Administration with advice and support on issues pertaining to Ashbury's core values: academic excellence, community, ethical and spiritual development, personal growth and international understanding;
• facilitating good communication within the school community;
• coordinating information-sharing events to foster communication between the College and the parent community;
• organizing and providing volunteers for the new parent orientation and open house events.

The PC membership includes the Headmaster, Assistant Headmasters and Junior School Head as well as Ashbury Parents representing each grade of the Junior and Senior Schools and Boarding community. Incoming members are selected in April from a list of nominees and are appointed for a term of up to four years. All parents of Ashbury students who are independent of the daily operation of the school can apply for committee membership by contacting the current Chair.

PC sub-committees work on specific projects and tasks throughout the year. A representative of the Parent Committee sits on and acts as liaison with other Ashbury Committees and Boards such as the Guild, the Board of Governors, the Food Committee, the Green Committee and the Ashbury Association.

Monthly meetings are held throughout the school year. All parents are invited to attend open meetings, which are held three times a year, and include guest presentations on topics of interest to the parent community. Minutes for all past PC meetings are posted for all parents to review.

Please contact any member of the PC Executive if you have any questions or suggestions.
