Want to get involved?

We are grateful for all offers of help big or small, even if you can give a half hour of your time once a year it would make a difference.

• Can you bake a cake for our 'Tea and Cake with the PA' event on April 26th?
• Got any ideas for an event or fund-raiser? Do let us know.
• Do you have a background in book-keeping or accountancy and could help us keep our (very simple) books?

 

Past Projects - where does the money go?

Did you know that funds raised by the PA bought the school's playground equipment, the sound system in the hall and the smart boards in your child's classroom? 

Each year the PA also contributes to the Classroom Fund which allows class teachers some extra funding for materials needed for special projects such as cooking ingredients and art supplies. Funds have also been used to buy indoor games for rainy days, Christmas crackers for the children's Christmas lunch, books for each child on World Book Day, a contribution towards the cost of hoodies for school leavers and donations to charities such as Cancer Research and the Art Room.

If you would like to have a say in how money raised is spent just come along to one of our meetings.  

New Twinning Project

A pencil can make a world of difference...
A better education = a brighter future

The entrance to the school

This new project aims to link Our Lady's with Sorioan Elementary School, Salcedo, Philippines. To support the pupils of this school we are collecting donations of much needed pencils, pens, coloured pencils, crayons, sharpeners, erasers and rulers to send off to the school. Donations do not need to be brand new. 

Activities in the school grounds on graduation day

There is a box for donations in each classroom, please bring what you can - it will make a huge difference to students at the school. Some families face the stark choice of buying food or basic school supplies each day.
