Although the school magazine does not appear to be the correct forum for reporting the activities of the Parent/Teachers' Association, it is felt that this, the first opportunity of recording in the annals of the school the formation of such an association, is sufficiently important to do so in this instance. It is furthermore hoped tbat parents will, from reading tbe magazine, become more acquainted with the activities of the Association. Tbe first General Meeting of the Association was beId in August, 1965, when a most enthusiastic band of parents adopted and ratified the constitution which had been drawn by tbe provisional Committee. Subsequent thereto, a committee was elected and a full year has now passed since the Association was fust formed. During this year the most important achievement bas been the establishment and running of tbe tucks hop which is situate between A and C playing fields. Tbe tucksbop is open every day during lunch breaks, on Saturdays or on other occasions when sporting events are beId. It is run entirely by mothers of the scbool under the very able and enthusiastic guidance of the Ladies' Committee headed bv Mrs. Alice Hamburger. Thus far this has been the main activity of the Association and thanks of both boys and parents are due to tbe ladies for their efforts. During this year meetings of the Association have been beId, the first of whicb was only for parents of boys in Standard 6. This was held in order to give parents of new boys to the Hig'1 <strong>School</strong> an opportunity to meet the staff and discuss any problems with which they may be faced. It is felt it was enjoyed by all who attended and was generally voted to be a necessity for parents of boys just coming to the school, as it was an ideal opportunity for tbe principal, Mr. Blackbeard, to explain to parents what is expected of both them and their sons. During tbe second term Mr. Rupert Hurley very kindly showed films of the first space walk and lunar probe and imparted some very interesting information to parents dealing with the rapid THE Wlh PLATE progress being made in outer space travel. A most interesting and enjoyable evening was had by all. In the third term parents had the distinct pleasure of having Mr. Bert Pfuhl talk to them on tbe solution of some of tbe problems parents face with modern youth. At the end of his lecture many parents felt convinced that it is not the parents who have tbe problem with their children, but the youth who have tbe problem with their parents. This talk was most objective and informative and many parents must have left wondering whether perhaps Mr. Pfubl was not correct i'1 that tbe parents were the problem. One of the main points brougbt out in Mr. Pfuhl's address that cannot be brought home to parents forcibly enough, is tbat parents do not as a rule take enough interest in their children. One of the main media througb which such interest can be taken, is through the child's activities at school. By parents attending school functions and joining in every possible school activity, a great impetus is given to the child to take more interest and a greater interest in school activities. All in all, the year's activities have been most enjoyable and thanks are due to the ladies for their magnificent work in tbe tuckshop and for catering at other scbool functions. The Ladies' Section of the P.T.A. got under way in October last year. Two successful cake sales were beId to provide initial funds. To begin with, Saturday morning cricket players and spectators were supplied with refreshments. The Ladies' Committee organised catering for prizegiving and the annual school sports. It was then felt that a permanent tuck shop was sorely needed and a successful appeal was made to the <strong>School</strong> Committee who generously sanctioned the immediate erection of same. The tuck shop is open daily and also during sports functions and is staffed entirely by mothers. It is run as an amenity, but its small profits are banked into the P.T.A.
