Welcome to the Sholem Aleichem College Parent's Association (SACPA).

All parents and guardians of the College are automatically members of SACPA, and we warmly encourage everyone to take part in the life of our primary school and Early Learning Centre. Our committee meets once each term to plan upcoming events and discuss the services we provide for our community. We’d love you to attend any meeting—whether you’d like to ask a question, share an idea, or simply listen in. Everyone is welcome.

SACPA has two main roles: bringing our community together and supporting the primary school and ELC through fundraising. Each year we coordinate both major events along with several smaller ones. These have included Trivia Nights, Movie Nights, Silent Auctions, Discos, Parents Drinks and stalls for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Special Friends’ Day, amongst others. We also run a range of services for the College community, such as second-hand uniform stalls, sausage sizzles or icypoles at pickups, and we also organise social gatherings like the Welcome Picnic and Family Camp. We work closely with the Principal and staff to ensure that all funds raised directly benefit our students.

Thanks to SACPA’s efforts, we’ve been able to contribute a wide range of resources to the College, including iPads, interactive whiteboards and TVs, books and classroom materials, sports equipment, musical instruments, an outdoor chess set, air conditioning, gardening supplies, and much more. We’re incredibly proud of what our community has achieved together.

Who are we? 
President: : Nastassja Kuran 
Vice President: Jeremy Shonberg        
Secretary: Jessica Leski 
Treasurer: Jenny Boymal 
 
SACPA is also made up of many additional wonderful volunteers who contribute in all sorts of ways—helping at events, sharing ideas at meetings, or simply showing up to support our community.  

When we meet 
SACPA meets once a term at the College. We’d love you to join us—it’s a friendly, relaxed way to meet other parents, stay connected, and be part of the community. (And yes, there’s always chocolate!)                                                                                                           

How to get involved 
You can contribute in whatever way suits you—whether that’s an hour here or there helping with events, by attending meetings and/or joining sub-committees. We regularly look for volunteers to prepare food, run stalls, set up events, and more. Parents, grandparents, guardians and carers are all welcome to get involved when they can. The children love seeing familiar faces helping out at school.  

Communication 
We share updates via the Signal app through parent representatives. You can also connect with us via email or simply say hello in the playground—we’re often there!
