Friends Association
Parent Helpers
We held our AGM on Friday 27 September to review past events and announce our fundraising totals along with voting in a Committee for the 2024-2025 academic year.
Our volunteer group of parents work really hard to provide the children with events and raise valuable funds to enhance their education. They have also registered for a school lottery which raises ongoing funds. Please see below information on how to register for this.
