The WSA runs a programme of events across the year. Some are fundraisers and others are social events giving you a chance to get to know other parents.

Winter Term

• October/ November: School Quiz

Brains need to be in gear at the annual WSA Quiz to beat the teacher’s team. A friendly quiz night open to all parents and their friends in teams of six. WSA runs the bar and a hot meal is included in the ticket price. A popular event, so get hold of your tickets early.

How can I help?
Happy to cook a hot dish like lasagne, help set out tables after school or clear up at the end of the evening, we’d love to hear from you.

• December: Christmas Bazaar

This event usually runs on the first Saturday of December. 

How can I help?
Happy to help set up after school on the Friday before or the Saturday morning, run one of the school stalls or help in the café or clear up. Let us know. A number of stalls are available for a small rent, so if you or your friends would like to sell crafts or other Christmas goodies please contact us.

PS. Don’t’ forget to sell those raffle tickets!

• December: Santa Float

An enjoyable evening wandering the streets of Whitchurch and Oving following the Rotary Club’s Father Christmas Float and collecting donations house to house. All the money raised comes to the school. Kids love it too.

How can I help?
Come along with your kids (over 5 years) to Oving or Whitchurch start points and join the merry group. We have plenty of collection boxes to go round!

Spring Term

• March/April: Sponsored Event

WSA in collaboration with the teachers usually run a sponsored event for children in this term. This has usually been a quiz to take home and complete during the Easter holidays. In 2006 the teachers has organized a sponsored obstacle race.

How can I help?
Help your child to get as many sponsors as possible- all the money goes to making Whitchurch School even better.

• Spring Event: New Events

The WSA likes to try out new events in the Spring term. These have included a Family Games nights and an Auction of Promises. Sometimes these events are fundraisers and sometimes purely social.

How can I help?
Let us know if you have any ideas for new events or a particular skill we could use for a specific event such as a Mother’s Pamper Evening.

Summer Term

• May: Whitchurch Village Association May Feast

The WSA is usually asked to run BBQ stall at this annual event. On a sunny days in previous years we have raised up to £600.

How can I help?
Come along to the Feast and buy a burger. If you fancy your hand on the BBQ (especially all you dad’s out there) let us know as we are always looking for volunteers to do one hour shifts between 10am and 3.00pm on the day.

• May: Summer Ball

Our biggest event of the year. Around 180 parents and their friends join us for live music and good food in a marquee pitched on the school playing fields. This year’s will be the 9th one run by the WSA. The event continues to be very popular so reserve your tickets early.

How can I help?
Put the date in your diary and come along with family and friends, it’s really good value for money! Offers of help with setting up or clearing away are always appreciated. Small groups of parents organize the catering and decorating the hall. If you would enjoy getting involved in either of these activities contact us.

• July: Summer Fete

Lots of fun on the school field with kids stalls, bouncy castle, BBQ etc

How can I help?
Come along for the morning with your kids, run a stall and remember to sell those raffle tickets. 

• July: Summer Social

A laid back social evening for parents and children on the school field. WSA sets up the BBQ and you bring the picnic. We usually have an enormous game of rounders with the kids. There is no charge for this event.
PS. Please make sure all children are accompanied by an adult.

How can I help?
Come along and relax.

In addition to the above events, we also hold three discos throughout the year, these are specifically for the children only, and are held around Halloween, Valentines Day and one towards the end of the summer term.

Each month, we also hold a Hotdog Friday, usually held on the 3rd or last Friday of each month except August. This gives the children an opportunity to enjoy a delicious hotdog or 'Vegdog'
