Our Committee and Volunteers – your time and energy make everything possibleWhether you helped organise events, baked cakes, donated raffle prizes, sponsored activities, or simply showed up to our events- you made a difference .
-
Mrs Davies , our wonderful teachers and staff, for their help at events
-
Gaynor Davies , our school contact who support us year-round
This year, we said goodbye to Gaynor Davies and Kath Pugh who have both been trustees for many years, and we thank both for many years of support.
We welcome our new trustees Ronia Dininno, Nic Rahmen and Jackie Davies who join the committee.
It truly is a team effort, and every contribution counts.
Looking Ahead
Our committee and trustees remained unchanged this year, but we anticipate opportunities to join as a trustee at the end of the year. We welcome new members and volunteers – no formal sign-up is needed . If you’re a parent or friend of the school, you’re already part of the PTA!
Please reach out if you’d like to get involved. Every bit of help – from baking to contacting companies for donations– makes a difference.
