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 2011), 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.

The TGPA runs two services for the benefit of the parents and children. The Parcel ServiceThe parcel service coordinates the sending of parcels with parents going down during term time. It is specifically for those small forgotten items or unexpected treats. No bikes, trunks, horses etc. Just small parcels that are easy to fit into a family sized car! Please let us know when you are going down to Mooi River in order for the parcel service to work efficiently. Contact: Linda 082 575 0061 Gauteng Bus DutyPlease allow for the heavy afternoon traffic when judging your arrival time and remember that the teachers who accompany your children still need to make the return trip back to school. It is the responsibility of the parents to clarify departure and arrival times. Bus cell is 082 074 1098 or phone the school secretary on 033 263 1251.
