Treverton Gauteng Parent's Association (TGPA)Pro-Active Parents in Partnership and ParticipationThe TGPA's purpose is to encourage and facilitate interaction between parents and the schools as well as raise funds for the College and the Prep with special emphasis on the needs of boarders.
The TGPA hosts a number of regular functions during the year which are designed to give parents the opportunity to hear from the school heads and to chat informally with the headmasters and teachers.
The Eating MeetingIn March 2011 the annual TGPA Eating Meeting was held at the Organic market in Bryanston. We had fantastic support from our parents who were joined by staff from the College and Prep. Whilst enjoying a wonderful picnic parents were given an update from the College and the Prep on how the new pupils have settled down, plans for upcoming year and other topics of a general nature. It was a fantastic opportunity for all the Gauteng parents to meet and chat with the teachers and other parents on an informal basis.A big thanks to Noel Coetzee (Executive Head), Graham Nolan (College Headmaster), Dean Balie (Senior Deputy Headmaster) and Mark Chaperon (Prep Headmaster) for taking the time to drive up to Gauteng with all their staff on a Sunday. It is really apprecited by the Gauteng parents. **********2012 EATING MEETING PICNIC *********** Please diarise Sunday 18th March 2012 for this year's Eating Meeting. Venue and time to be confirmed.
