Parent Teacher Association

This is a voluntary organisation whose main purpose is to liaise with parents and teachers to foster school/community relationships. Members are elected at the AGM, usually in March. This group encourages parents to take part in as many school activities as possible. Staff appreciate the support the PTA gives to the school.

The PTA organises a variety of activities to provide funds for equipment and resources not provided adequately through Ministry of Education funding. Activities have included school fairs, quiz nights, raffles, school lunches, readathon, spellathon and mathalon.
