Turning Lost Property into Second Hand Uniform

We have a pile of unnamed FPS uniform items that have been sitting in lost property. We will move these items to the second hand uniform cupboard, however before we do, the clothing needs a wash.

If you get satisfaction from making the dirty clean and have some time over the holidays, please contact the office. We can bundle up some pieces for collection on Thursday22/Friday 23 June so that you have the holidays to wash and dry the items. 

Clothing can be returned to FPS the first week of next term.

Piano Looking for a New Home! 

We have a gorgeous Yamaha piano (that was formerly in the Performing Arts room) that is looking for a new home. 

While we were planning the Performing Arts room refurbishment, we reflected that while it is an excellent instrument, it is very limiting in terms of teaching a whole class and maintaining visibility. As such, it wasn’t used very often, which is a shame as it is a very high quality instrument. We would love to see this beautiful instrument in a new home, where it can be played often. 

We would love to gift this instrument to a not-for-profit community group in the local area. If there are any groups who are interested in the piano, please have them contact the school for more information.
