Welcome to JYS Friends
At Jessie Younghusband Primary School, we believe in the power of community and collaboration. Our Parent-Teacher Association (PTA), known as JYS Friends, plays a vital role in enhancing the educational experience for all our children.
Who We Are:
JYS Friends is a dedicated group of parents, teachers, and staff who work together to support the school and its community. Our mission is to foster a strong partnership between home and school, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive in a nurturing and engaging environment.
What We Do:
-
Fundraising: We organise various events throughout the year to raise funds that directly benefit our school. These funds are used for resources, activities, and improvements that enhance the learning experience for all children.
-
Community Building: We aim to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for all families. Our events provide opportunities for parents and children to connect, share experiences, and build lasting friendships.
-
Support for School Initiatives: JYS Friends collaborates closely with the school leadership to identify areas where support is needed. Whether it’s volunteering for events or providing feedback on school initiatives, we are here to help.
Get Involved:
We invite all parents and guardians to join us in our efforts. Whether you can spare a little time to volunteer or simply want to participate in our events, your involvement makes a difference. Together, we can create a vibrant school community that supports our children’s education and well-being.
Join us in making Jessie Younghusband Primary School a fantastic place for our children to learn, grow, and thrive!
Stickins Name Labels
If you are a parent who uses stciky name labels in an effort to have your child's lost things returned to them (and as a school we thank you for doing this!), then there are various companies that you can use to order stickers. If you order from Stickins:
and use the code 10648, then the school gets a commission as a result of your order.
This means you can donate funds to The JYS Friends by just doing your shopping, with absolutely no additional cost to you!
