Welcome to the Coombe Girls’ School Parents and Friends Association (CGS PFA)

We are delighted to have you join our vibrant community of dedicated parent volunteers. At CGS PFA, we are committed to fostering a supportive and engaging environment for both parents and students. Our mission is to raise funds and organize events that bring joy and unity to our community, while also supporting school projects that fall outside the scope of the school budget.

Our small but passionate committee of parents works tirelessly to make these events and fundraising efforts possible. We are deeply grateful to those who generously contribute their time, resources, and enthusiasm to make a meaningful impact on our Coombe-unity. Whether through volunteering, donating, or attending our events, your involvement is invaluable.

Join Classlist for updates on our involvement with the School community.

We warmly invite you to get in touch with us if you would like to become an active part of our community.

Kind regards,

Sandra Velosa Roche

Coombe Girls School PFA Chair

Match-Funding

Match-Funding

We wanted to take this opportunity to remind you about the match funding scheme and how a little bit of your time could raise double the funds for the PFA.

If you work for an organisation that has a match funding policy, any money you raise could be matched by your employer. Companies may match the fundraising total for an event, or for the stall that their employee is working on. Usually, the employee will need to supply them with a letter from the PFA detailing the date and nature of the event, together with the total raised.
