PARTICIPATION BODIES

Within the participation bodies we find the Parents Association and the

School Council.

 PARENTS ASSOCIATION

-Parents Association of Mandela School is composed of 4 fathers and 5 mothers which have the following functions:

• To collaborate in the organization of complementary activities

and participate in educational activities of our school.

• To ensure the participation of parents in the management of the school.

• To support the presence of parents when making decisions.

• To carry out projects in order to have a good educational offer.

• To organize and cooperate in extracurricular activities.

• To inform other parents about the subjects that their children will have.

• To organize meeting activities (such as organized trips, meetings…)

-Within this we find the ‘Junta Directiva’, which is responsible for the organization,

management and monitoring of extracurricular activities for students.

Specifically, the INITIATIVES that the Parents Association will develop are:

1. Eliminating Fears: it will consist of carrying out every week a meeting, so that the parents of the students of our school can express themselves and communicate their thoughts and insecurities about the needs of their children.

2. As our school is focussed on the development of extracurricular activities that in the school hours are not offered, as for example chess and a musical chorus in which all teachers, students and parents can attend voluntarily. 

3. Crowdfunding Requests: it consists of a network of collective funding, which through small annual donations from the families of the students, we will get the best tools and resources that guarantee the greatest enjoyment and learning of our students.

4. In addition, they will propose new educational activities, so they will collaborate in the research and will look for the best option for our students to visit an educational place during the academic year.

5. Moreover, in Christmas, students will make a Christmas’ song contest and they will be dressed up according to the theme. Parent’s association will help to make the costumes and attend the contest. 

6. A theatre will be develop. It will be focused on summer.

Finally, AMPA will try to support those students most in need. For this reason, the parents' association will organize two festivities to collect school materials needed by students with less financial resources.

The INNOVATION PROJECTS carried out in our school are the following ones:

The first one is called ''Aula Creativa'' a project about digital devices to

help teaching and learning.

There our students can create videos introducing sounds and creative activities to do in order to share

them to the class. In this way, they are going to discover new technologies and become more familiar

with them.

The next project is called “El Patio de mi Cole” , a project about respect and coexistence.

It consists of knowing the behaviour of our students in the recess, thus analyzing it in

order to develop an adequate coexistence plan.

The last project we have introduced is known as ''Mindfulness'' a project related to

physical and mental health. This project is willing to improve many capacities of our students like attention, relationships with others or to control themselves. Despite being beneficial for every student, it is going to be very essential for those with SNES.
