INVITATION FOR FUNDING PROPOSALS

Dear parents, staff and students, 

The PFA would like to invite the school community to submit proposals for the allocation of PFA funds to support and enhance the education and welfare of the children at OHR. This opportunity is available once every calendar year in accordance with the rules of the PFA.

Attached is the PFA Funding Proposal Application Form and an extract of the Fundraising Expenditure Policy, which is included in the rules of the PFA. All submissions will be reviewed by a fundraising sub-committee to ensure they meet funding criteria outlined in the Policy. 

Proposals for items of significant amounts to be funded over more than one year are encouraged. A plan outlining a potential longer term delivery and expenditure should accompany the proposal.

The closing date for submissions is the 4th of September 2022. Please email submissions to the PFA secretary, Lisa Cuteri (lcuteri@gmail.com), by this date.

We look forward to hearing from you. 

Kind regards,

The PFA team
