Introducing your PTFA Committee team

 

Betty Lin

Betty Lin – Chair

I have two children who adore their time in school, Amelie (Y4) and Cara (Y1). As a multilingual, I believe in the learning ethos of St. Jérôme Church of England Bilingual school and I hope to further enhance the joy of the time spent in primary school and drive the enrichment of the children’s learning.

Anona Arthur -Co Chair

I am parent to Alexandra (Year 4). I have previous experience of being a PTFA Committee member at the School and I feel it’s important to build partnerships with our growing school community in order to benefit our children. Particularly at this challenging time by enhancing fundraising efforts and supporting our school we can contribute to enriching the lives and learning of all our children. 

Guy-Aldric Watine – Secretary

I have two boys, Alexis (Y1) and Jeremy (Reception from September 2022). I’m a French Video Editor and Cameraman for Television. Alexis loves the school and I look forward to raising money to support and improve St Jerome for the benefit of all our kids.

 

Harmony Johnson – Co-secretary

I am a secondary school teacher and mother of Hugh (Y1) and a baby girl. I feel very lucky that Hugh is at such an excellent school and I am looking forward to working with other parents on the PTFA for the benefit of the children and school. My particular interests are in recreational sports, music and the environment.

 

Nitu Vekaria – Treasurer

I am the parent of Kailen Vekaria who is currently in Year 1.  After moving to Harrow a couple of years ago, I was keen to get involved with the local area and community and I don’t think there is a better place to start than our local school.  I am a big believer in taking interest and playing a part in our children’s education as well as the community that they are nurtured in, so I look forward to working with my fellow PTFA committee members in supporting various projects and initiatives as well as raising funds for St Jerome.

 

Anshul – Co-treasurer

I am the father of Arin, who is in Year 1 now. He loves his school and we can see how he learns and progresses through his excellent education every day. I want to actively engage in his school’s community by bringing in as much as I can and help the school in various endeavours. I have a personal interest in creative designing. I am multilingual and have a professional business and finance background.
