Join us in the PFA!
We’d love to have keen parents join the PFA. We’re a fun bunch that meets monthly, usually at Holgates, and you can volunteer to help out with as much or as little as you’re able. Our next meeting will be held at 7.30pm at Holgates Brewery on the 31st of March (this is in lieu of an April meeting as it will be school holidays).
