Clubs

  • FWPA offers many different options for extra-curricular activities. 

    Clubs at FWPA fall under the responsibility of the ASB.  Students who wish to see a new club added need to find a staff member who is willing/able to serve as an adviser.  Students then need to write up a constitution describing the purpose and structure of the club. This constitution is then presented to  ASB  for approval of the formation of the club.  

    A constitution template is available from the ASB Adviser.
