School and Kindergarten Parents and Friends Association Meeting - Wednesday 27th November 2024, at 6.30pm at the Miners Rest Tavern
The next PFA meeting will be a General Meeting on Wednesday 27th November at 6.30pm at the Miners Rest Tavern. Please feel free to join us for a meal or a drink. This is a great opportunity to meet new parents and staff, and a place where you can share your ideas for fundraising and how you would like to see the money raised to be spent on your children. All new and existing parents are encouraged to attend and toddlers are most welcome.
Please note that PFA Meetings are held monthly and you are free to attend as many or as few as you like - the PFA do not lock anyone in for a commitment.
