K hPrim CHAIRPERSON'S REPORT The year started off very slow for us in September 2021 as covid resiriclions were still having an impact, therefore we didn'l anticipate the Christmas 2021 showslraffles etc would take pla￿. After a difficult period for the children during covid we decided lo present each child wilh a book for Christmas. These were well received by Ihe children and parents. We had a Christmas accessory day and treats for the children in Ihe final week of term with parents giving a voluntary donation If they wished. Things were starting lo ease with covid al the beginning of 2022, so we organised a Take a break moming with car wash and breakfast, we also had the prelused unrforms available and a cake sale running alongside this. We were very lucky with the weather; I think il's hard enough to have to sland and wash cars when rt's dry but far worse rf il had been raining! We had a number of new men helping who along wilh our principal Mr Slewart very willingly gave of their lime and washed cars all morning! We applied and were successful for a grant to buy a power washer and a new BBQ. The evenl was fairly well attended, and it was lovely to see people out and about again, all in all a good success. We got raffle tickets reprinted which had been previously planned but was put on hold when covid happened, so we Ihought the prizes were too good to pass by, so we gave each family one book of tickets to sell. Some parents really pulled out all the stops and sold lots of books lor us which was very much appreciated. We held Ihe raflle at our fun night which was held at the end of June. Again, we were blessed with dry weatherl The school received some money as part of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee funding, which we used it lo buy crafts and pay for the face painters and fun farm etc. We also booked DJ Bob to come along to provide background music and to acl as MC for the evening, Ihis really added to the atmosphere and helped the evening go so well. This event was really well supported, and it raised a large amounl of money, as Marion will r8fer to in her report both the raffle and the fun nighl raised substantial funds. We continue to encourage parents and families to register with easylundraising, from this we re￿iVed nearly £300 for doing very little and didn't cost anyone a penny. I would like to conclude by saying thank you to the PSG committee and other PSG helpers who give of their time, it really is a case of many hands make lighl work! Also, a big thankyou to Gillian Cullen our teacher rep. Gillian always goes above and beyond to support us without any fuss. I would also like to thank Mr Stewart our principal, he has been so supportive in everything we do and is always willing to help. giving advice and practical help. We had a very successful and rewarding year. When we consider Ihe amount of money raised in one school year il has been fabulous after what were 2 difficult years lor everyone. Many thanks to everyone who helped in any way. Adele Moore, Chairperson
