Every year, in accordance with the statutes, an election is organised to partially renew the membership of the APEEEL1 Management Committee. This year, eleven positions on the Management Committee will need to be filled.
No experience is needed. You just need to be a member of our organisation and bring your interest, passion and dedication to impact school life.
The Management Committee of APEEEL1 is a group of parents who:

- raise and manage special-purpose funds to make a difference, namely through our 1) Social Fund to assist parents and families to participate in school trips pursuant to our “No Child Left Behind” Philosophy and 2) Participatory Budget to sponsor special initiatives that contribute to the school spirit such as “The School Garden” or the Lux1 team sports kit for the Eurosport Varese Cup;
- provide oversight of the team of permanent employees who manage the operations of the Secretariat of the Association, including day to day interaction with parents and the organization, planning, management and execution of the périscolaire activities;
- are active stakeholders in the management of the school canteen ̶ we play a lead role in organising the selection process for the canteen provider;
- organize the School Fête and other events such as the ski clothing sale;
- play a big role in the organisation of the school transport ̶ we organised a Transport Survey to learn more about the transport issues;
- keep you updated on all important and hot events and topics ̶ we publish information on the website, via monthly Newsletters and have a discussion group on our Facebook page.
