Nausica School Parents’ Association (AFA)
The Nausica School Parents’ Association (AFA) is the organization that brings together and represents the families of the school. This non-profit association is an essential platform for the active participation of families in school life and for collaboration with the educational team.
The main objectives of the AFA are:
1. Support for families and the educational team: To provide parents, guardians, educators, and children with the necessary support for the education of all students at the school.
2. Promotion of participation: To raise awareness and encourage families’ involvement in school life.
3. Communication channel: To serve as a space for gathering initiatives, proposals, and suggestions from families with the aim of improving the school’s activities and services.
4. Organization of activities: To coordinate extracurricular activities, the end-of-year party, and other events that foster relationships and connections among families.
Extracurricular Activities
The school offers a wide range of extracurricular activities outside school hours in order to enrich our students’ education:
● Midday: Theatre, yoga, chess, manga drawing, introduction to music, ukulele, and robotics.
● Afternoons: Movement games, artistic gymnastics, volleyball, basketball, and futsal.
International Festival
In 2023, the first Nausica International Festival was launched with the aim of welcoming new families, fostering connections, and getting to know better the diverse cultures that coexist in our school. More than 30 families of different nationalities shared the cultural heritage of their countries through stands, music, dances, and sweets from around the world. The event has now become an essential autumn gathering, where the sardana—the most beautiful of all dances that are danced and undone—can never be missing.
Christmas Choir
In the winter of 2022, the AFA Christmas Choir was created with the goal of joining the primary students’ Christmas concert at the Church of Sant Ildefons. So far, we have enjoyed memorable performances featuring tailed devils, snowmen, and even the Three Wise Men!
Sant Jordi Festival
Every year, the school celebrates the Sant Jordi Festival with roses and books. Fifth and sixth graders sell bookmarks and roses, while the main playground fills with books for all tastes. It is a fantastic opportunity to promote reading and share traditions.
Sweet Fridays
On Fridays, fifth and sixth graders become pastry chefs and sell their creations at the school exit. The money raised goes toward school camps and trips, an activity of great educational value for our students.
End-of-Year Party
The end-of-year party is an event designed for the whole family. It is held on a Saturday in May, when students from the extracurricular theatre program (from I5 to Year 6) present their plays. At 5:30 p.m., everyone enjoys an afternoon snack in the playground, full of fun and activities for all ages.
Talks
The AFA organizes several talks each year on current topics related to education and the well-being of our children. These talks provide families with an opportunity to reflect and share concerns, working together with the school to ensure the best development of our children.
An Active and Engaged AFA
The Nausica AFA is an active, participatory association deeply involved in the educational community. Being a school in Barcelona means being a school with initiative, and our AFA is a clear example of this. Choosing Nausica School means choosing an innovative, creative school with a strong commitment to education.
At Nausica, we are all AFA!
