And a final message...


Although we weren’t on campus, DAAPA continued working throughout the year to enrich our school’s community with focus on parent well-being, connecting with our school’s senior leadership teams across all divisions and acknowledging our wonderful teacher’s and staff’s dedication, commitment and support throughout the year. If nothing else, this past year and a half has truly shown us that

#TogetherWeCan!


Wishing you all a Happy, Restful and Safe summer.


Signing off for the summer,


The 2021-2022 DAAPA Team

DAA Parent Community Business Listing

We have received an overwhelming response from the DAA parent community for our DAAPA initiative to compile a list of local businesses that are run by DAA parents ahead of the Holidays. The list includes over 50 local businesses ranging from Food & Catering, Fashion & Accessories to Home Services and Health & Wellbeing products. Have a browse HERE and check them out!
