The PTA Committee would like to welcome all parents to the PTA for the current school year. The aim of the PTA is to raise money for the school to buy extra equipment and resources, both educational and recreational.

All parents are automatically members of the PTA without commitment. Anyone willing to help at any of the fund-raising activities will be very welcome. Also if you have any fund-raising ideas or suggestions you want to share, please speak to a PTA committee member (see below) or come along to any of the PTA meetings. (Notice of these is usually printed on the weekly newsletter.)

Last year, the PTA managed to raise no less than £6800. Over the last few years, PTA funds have been used to support the provision of items such as:

• interactive whiteboards for every classroom

• a complete update of computers throughout the school

• specialist visiting teachers for Arts Week

• goal posts

• outdoor games

• library books

• a role-play house

• DVD players

• a seating area in the Infant playground.

The appointments made at this year's A.G.M. were:

Lorraine Eyles and Julie Secrett as joint chairpersons

Lorraine Eyles as treasurer

Jayne Donoghue as secretary

The class reps for this year are:
