Parents’ Association (PA)
The Parents’ Association is a non-profit organization. There is only one Parents’ Association for all of Bladins. The association is divided into two sections, where the Swedish section (SvFF) is representing parents of children in the Swedish Pre-school, Swedish Compulsory School, Upper Secondary School and the After School department and the International Section (ISPA) is representing parents of children in the International School. The Chair of the Parents’ Association rotates every year between the two sections.
The responsibility of the PA is:

  • to elect the Board at the Annual General Meeting once per academic year
  • to promote the school through various support activities (for example class activities, family festival etc.)
