## **Chair Report 23 – 24** 

The EPA has had a productive yet occasionally challenging year since the last AGM. The mostly new team has formed a strong working bond and developed good links with the school. As chair I have been pleased with the progress we have made, though look forwards to further successes over the coming year.  Can I pass on my deep thanks to the EPA committee members who spend considerable time and effort in ensuring the outputs are a success. 

## **Events & Fundraising** 

The EPA has helped organise several events over the past year. The annual fireworks evening remains a large success and our main fundraising event. The change in layout was successful this year and the event was run in a smooth and professional manner. The school staff who helped to facilitate the event, and the parent volunteers ensured an enjoyable and safe evening was enjoyed by all. 

The Christmas Fair was hosted in the main house and was a success again, bringing together a varied and enjoyable number of vendors, excellent school performances and created a very festive feeling. 

The Curry and Quiz night was an enjoyable evening, despite the last-minute performance of the Chair as question master. The plasticine dragon competition showed it is not only the pupils who have considerable artistic challenges. 

The Summer Ball was unfortunately cancelled, due to a low uptake in numbers. This was a large disappointment for the committee, however no over riding reason was identified for the poor uptake. The committee has identified areas where we can improve and will continue to look at events that bring the school community together. Most costs have been minimised or redistributed to other events. 

The School Uniform Shop continues to provide a steady income to the EPA and provides an invaluable service to the school community. The committee is extremely grateful for the efforts of the numerous parents who give up their own time to help run the shop. 

## **Funding** 

Over the year the committee has approved multiple funding requests from the students and staff, which have improv 

ed the lives and education of the pupils. These requests have included funding: 

- Microphones for the school productions 

- Cricket Bowling Machines 

- Circus skills for well-being week. 



## **Treasurer** 

Our excellent treasurer Damien O’Farrell has decided to step down from his role.  The committee is extremely grateful for his help and assistance over the past year **.**
