Update from the PTA
  • The Oktoberfest was so much fun, despite the sore heads the next day! I think by popular demand it will be back next year - thank you for everyone who joined us.
  • We've having a Fancy Dress amnesty for anything outgrown - drop at infants or juniors on a Friday (drop off or pick up) from today until 18th October. We will have a sale alongside our Spooky Bakes on Friday 25 October.
  • AGM minutes will be available on the website soon. Jess Allen was voted in as chair, Gaurav Arora will be deputy chair, Laura Cuss remaining as treasurer, Abi Mossop stepped down as chair but will still be supporting as secretary - thank you Abi for a wonderful 2 years of leading the PTA.
  • Across all years the children have been busy with their Christmas designs. You will see their artwork coming home in book bags towards the end of next week. There is a super tight deadline of 16 October to order cards, mugs and other gifts with their designs. Class parents will remind you.
