PTFA
The PTFA (Parents, Teachers & Friends Association) supports the school community primarily by raising additional funds. These additional funds add to the educational and personal development of all our children.
As funding pressures on the School increases each year, difficult decisions on monetary allocations must be made. But thanks to the fundraising efforts of the PTFA, working in conjunction with staff, significant additional funds are raised each year in support of our students and the school community. These additional funds add to the educational and personal development of all our children.
The PTFA funds resources and projects that the school would not otherwise have. You can see just a few examples of how we have helped the school and its students at the foot of the page.
Getting involved
The PTFA are always open to new members joining the team. Mums, Dads, Stepparents, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and more are encouraged to get involved and help to continue the fantastic work of the PTFA. Without the volunteers, there wouldn't be a PTFA.
