PTA Update
After an amazing year of fundraising last year, the PTA have been planning upcoming events, we know the school budget is under significant pressure so our fundraising is vitally important. But we are desperate for more volunteers after losing many committee members to the juniors. It is not a full-time commitment; we just need a few people, some of the roles and support is super flexible. Please come to the AGM to find out more or drop us a message.
