Partnership

Through

Action

 

 

The Parent Teachers Association (PTA) acts as liaison between the Board of Governors, teachers and parents. Our objectives are also to raise and spend funds for the enhancement of the school and the benefit of the children, involving as many people as possible and having as much fun as we can along the way.  Our motto is

 

‘Partnership Through Action……..fun, funds, family and friends’

The current office bearers on the PTA committee are:-

 

Linda Tunstall, the Chairperson, who oversees the running of the PTA. Linda chairs all the meetings and generally keeps everyone in order and also has a place on the Board of Governors as representative for the PTA.  Together with the role of Chairperson and as a “Waterbabe” instructor, Linda just about manages to keep her head above water! Linda has lived in Doha since 2008 and has three children at DESS, Hannah (Year 3), Jack (Year 1) and Nathan (Nursery).

Sarah Rouse, the Vice Chairperson, who supports the Chair with the running of the PTA. Sarah is a country girl at heart, and has swapped walking the wild wannies of Northumberland and her beloved greenhouse, for pounding the pavement of the Corniche followed by breakfasts at 'The One'!  Sarah has been in Doha for just over a year and loves it! She has two children at DESS, Matthew (Year 2) and Mia (Reception). 

Fiona Best, the Secretary, who is responsible for all the Administration in relation to the PTA. Fiona creates the PTA section of the newsletter and compiles the agenda and minutes from all meetings.  Fiona is a keen "Bootcamper" and enjoys the outdoor life! She has lived in Doha for just over a year and is loving the expat lifestyle. Fiona has two girls at DESS, Harriet in Year 3 and Isabella in Year1.

Siân Casson, the Treasurer, who is responsible for looking after the finances and in particular, establishing what funds will be required for future projects and keeping track of how much money has been raised on individual fundraising activities.  You’ll recognise Siân as the one wearing the tennis skirt – the Sharapova wannabee! Siân has lived in Doha since 2004 and has one daughter at DESS, Abigail (Year 5) and Josh and Charlotte at Doha College.

The other non-office bearing members of the committee are made up from a mixture of teachers and parents.  They are
