Parents’ Association

Community, events, fundraising and charity

Thank you Thanks to the PA, we have invested in three new simulators, enabling all RAF cadets to develop their understanding and knowledge of the science and principles of flight and more importantly how to fly a plane themselves. From take-off and landing to flying sorties and missions of varying levels across different terrains, the laptops and simulator systems and control units have been hugely appreciated by the cadets and are giving them all fantastic learning opportunities as well as plenty of fun.

Further recent purchases include one new GoPro for capturing photos and video footage of all activities – whatever the weather or conditions. This has already been used extensively and successfully in Snowdonia with SAC and also on Basingstoke Canal with DW, Hampshire with OSCA and Bronze DofE. Four new trackers have been purchased for our largest ever DW cohort and are up and running.

Get Involved Whether it’s socialising or serving drinks, everything you do to support our thriving Parents’ Association benefits your children. All the money raised by the PA is used to fund a range of extras for the pupils in many different ways across school. To illustrate, the very successful Autumn Fire & Ice Ball raised money for floodlights, a computer flight simulator, a tennis ball machine, new board games, adventure trackers and a laser projector! Getting involved with the PA is also a good opportunity to get to know both fellow parents and the School better and we always welcome new volunteers to join us. Whether you can offer only a little time or want to be more involved, please do get in touch! pa@churcherscollege.com
