What Do We Do?
The Royal West Academy Home & School Association has traditionally ranked highest in Quebec for parent support.
As volunteers, we work in concert with teachers and the administration to best support the students while they are here at RWA. We support the school community in several activities.
- We operate the school store so that the students can readily buy their needed school supplies and uniform needs. The store is open every day during the lunch hour. We have extended hours 8:00 a.m.-1:30 p.m. during the first few days of school.
- We have other fundraising events during the year, such as a raffle during the fall parent/teacher interviews. The proceeds allow us to provide scholarships and bursaries to deserving students.
- We help operate and fund the library and computer labs.
- We provide refreshments during the Science Fair and Teacher Appreciation Week.
- We host a debating competition.
- We bake, sew, and support our school teams and honour band.
- We come in and paint when funds do not allow the school board to provide such services.
- We volunteer so parents and students can come and buy their uniform needs in June and August.
How To Get Involved?
