The Ministry of Education have made it quite clear to schools that education should be free. The reality is we just could not survive and thrive with the money they give us in our operational grant each year.

We rely on PFA and the families in our community to allow us to offer the quality teaching and programmes we do for our children.

This money goes towards learning assistants who support every teacher and learner, reduced class sizes, our garden to table programme, our gifted and talented programme for over 120 children, our performing arts programme and learning resources which also impact everyone.

We are very lucky to have the supportive community we do. Thank you.

Please keep contributing in any way you can to allow these great things to keep happening in our school. We appreciate any commitment you can make.
