Parents and Friends 

Please join us for our monthly meeting which is held in the Community Room at 6.30 pm this coming Tuesday, 18th March.

We'd love you to join us for the meeting next week. The success of our events and fundraising relies on the support and participation of parents, carers and the school community. You can get involved by joining the PFA committee or attending our monthly meetings or volunteering to be a parent helper.  Working together allows us to foster a great school community spirit and the students love seeing their parents/carers at school events.
