Association of Friends of the School (AFS)
Chairperson for the KECHG Associated Friends of the School (AFS): Dr Ebru Tenekeci afs@chg.kevibham.org
The AFS has three main aims as defined by its constitution.
- To advance the education of pupils of the school by providing funds and facilities for the school which might not normally be provided.
- To foster the relationships between staff, parents, pupils and any others associated with the school.
- To support the school in any appropriate manner.
All parents/guardians automatically become members of the AFS on their daughters joining the school and there are several practical ways for them to support the AFS.
Firstly, the AFS constantly needs new committee members to replace those whose daughters leave the school or who stand down. The AFS holds three committee meeting per school year as well as an Annual General Meeting (AMG).
The second way parents can help is by becoming an occasional volunteer. All new parents are given an opportunity to complete an AFS volunteer form which provides details which can be held on file and be contacted as and when required. There are approximately four to six events each school year where the AFS requires parental assistance such as car park marshalling, serving refreshments or simply providing a parental presence at a disco.
For more information about the AFS and its work please contact the school in the first instance.

AFS Prize Draw
Welcome to our AFS Prize Draw
A great way for you to support the AFS to benefit the students at school, while also having the chance to win a prize. Here’s how it works…
Complete and sign the membership form and set up a standing order for £1 a month (or £12 annually) or pay by annual cheque.
This buys you one membership number (that we will allocate), which enters you into the draw. The draw will take place at the end of each term (three times per year). Up to four numbers can be purchased per household.
All participants must be over 18.
The name of the winners of each prize draw will be published in the Chronicle Newsletter.
The prize money will be 40% of the membership fee taken that term. The remaining 60% goes to the school to help fund equipment, resources and opportunities for pupils.
The more participants involved, the more money we can raise and the larger the cash prize, so please encourage your friends and family to sign up too.
Any queries, please contact Katherine Brown, Prize Draw Officer by email afs@chg.kevibham.org.
Join our Prize Draw today and you could be our next winner!
