The PTA would like to thank all families for their support during the year and we wish you all a Safe and Merry Christmas and New Year.

The purpose of the PTA is to create a close association between parents and the school.

The main functions of the PTA are:

• to be a representative group of parents for consultation with the school
  
• to act as a sounding board for any changes in the school
  
• to keep the Principal aware of parents’ perspectives on school matters
  
• interacting with the parent community and staff by serving tea and coffee at parent evenings, report evenings etc (as requested by the school)
  
• bringing the school community together at social events by organising various activities
  
• running the second-hand uniform sale days
  

There is very little focus on fundraising – we rather like to consider the PTA activities as ‘fun’ raising events.

All are welcome to attend our meetings. Please click here to visit the school's website for dates and times.

We are always looking for new active members – please consider joining.
