PTA News - November 2008

Dear Parents, The Variety Show held just over a week age was another great success: everyone worked extremely hard to make this show possible and the performances from the parents and teaching staff were outstanding. A special thank you to Melissa and Heike for running the bar and the sixth formers who did an absolutely fantastic job ensuring that all the audience were waited on. Another special thank you to Nikki from the Refectory Cafe, who spent all day Saturday preparing the platters of delicious homemade food, and donated all to the PTA - Thank-you Thanks once again to Eugene and Mark from maintenance, for accommodating all of our requests and without whom none of our events would be possible. And finally to Debbie the PTA Treasurer, for always ensuring sufficient funds and efficient accounting.

So from both myself and Preeya - THANK-YOU

As I think most of you by now are aware the PTA last year funded the purchase of a grand piano to commemorate our Silver Jubilee. This now has pride of place in the school hall. I would like to say a special thankyou to Michelle Herring, who chaired the PTA last school year and everyone who worked so hard to raise such an incredible amount of money to make the purchase of the piano possible.

Finally I would like to remind everyone that the Christmas bazaar is on Saturday 6th December which is less than two weeks away. Many parents have come forward offering help but we can always use more - manning PTA stalls, donations of nearly new toys, raffle prizes, tombola prizes. There are boxes outside each of the primary classrooms where any donated items can be left, or in the school office.

Jenny is organising the cake stall this year; if you would like to donate any homemade cakes, mince pies, festive biscuits...... please call her on 609503984

Any help would be greatly received, however small.

Many Thanks.
