Parent Council

Welcome to the Parent Council! We have a great opportunity at our school to be able to contribute towards the education and recreation of our young people from age 3-18. We have 4 meetings throughout the year which follows an agenda however it is very informal in every other way. Lots of laughs, tea, coffee and biccies! Occasionally we have guest speakers on a variety of subjects. If you feel you have something which you wish to find out more about or have a contact for an organisation that you would like to invite along, we would be delighted to hear from you.

We are looking to you to help us to provide the best opportunities for our children. We can all make a difference. Our Parent Council receive funding requests throughout the year for many different things and we need your help to make these achievable through our fundraising events throughout the year. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone of you who support the Parent Council in which ever way you do and to extend the welcome to all parents/carers old and new to the school.

I’d like to provide you with details of the things your generosity has contributed towards. Some of these have been paid for every year.
