YPA

The York School Parents’ Association (YPA) plays a large part in contributing to this vibrant community. The YPA is a volunteer organization that conducts events that increase school spirit and camaraderie. The YPA also encourages volunteerism and raises funds to support the school. All parents and guardians of current students are automatically members of the YPA.

Some of the events organized by the YPA include: 

  • Pre-Loved Uniform Sale

  • Student Events 

  • Teacher and Staff appreciation events 

  • A speaker series in partnership with the school

  • Pancake Breakfasts 

  • Social gatherings and so much more 

There are many opportunities to volunteer throughout the year, so please consider getting involved! From being a Class Parent to helping at the YPA Halloween Party at the Junior School, it is fun, rewarding, and a great opportunity to meet and get to know other parents in our community.

Full information about the YPA, who we are, what we do, and how you can get involved, is available on the school intranet YorkNet.
