Events 2010
FAVA relies on parental support. Help is often required to organise and run events and new ideas are vital for continued success in the future.
See 'How You Can Help' for ways you can make a contribution.
Fundraising
Any member of FAVA is entitled to suggest suitable projects for discussion by the Committee.
Since forming in October we have:
- Supported the Academy's Young Enterprise Team
- Bought cameras for the Academy's new student newspaper
- Agreed to sponsor student of the Term Awards.
We are looking into running the sale of second hand uniforms and in setting up a 100 Club as well as organising collections of old mobile phones and jewellery to raise funds. If you can help with this please contact us at fava@theacademy.me.

How Can You Help?
FAVA is run by parents for the benefit of the pupils and the Academy. It relies on help from volunteers. There are a number of ways you can be invloved:
First and foremost support the events and activities!
- Join the Committee
Commitee members are elected each year at the AGM in October. - Become a Helper
The Committee maintains a database of parents/guardians/staff who have volunteered to help at events if called on. Put your name down on our 'Helpers List' - you may be called on one day! - Contacts
Please tell the Committee if you have any contacts for obtaining discounts or supplies of goods and services that may be useful to FAVA and so minimise expenditure e.g. advertising services, drinks and catering, entertainers, raffle prizes etc. - New Ideas
We always need new ideas so if you have been to successful events elsewhere which you think would suit FAVA or have ideas for other methods to raise money for the Academy let us know.
If you would like to contribute in any of the above ways please email us at fava@theacademy.me.
