We feel we have had a very successful year and have made a positive impact for the pupils and
staff. A major boost to this years fundraising was being the 2015116 charity for Greenisland Golf
Club.
A qulck review of the year:_
September- We kicked off the year with a bag pack at ASDA Ballyclare. This is becoming an
annual event and is a great way to raise money. The grand total this year was £1087
October In October we took part in the spend for schools promotion at the Abbeycentre.
Customers presented purchase receipts and were able to vote for their favourite school with
tokens. Despite a concerted effort to promote this we didn't win a prize.
December- We organised a dedicated screening of the Good Dinosaur at Glengormley Cinema,
a great time was had by all. We also had a Christmas ballot with great prizes organised and we
managed to raise £364.
March We ended this month with a visit to the Playzone at the valley leisure
May- We felt that the events we were organising We￿ more geared to the younger children so
we organised a trip to 10 Pin Bowling in Glengormley for the senior school. A great turnout and
a great time had by all. We will definitely look at making this an annual event.
Our main focus throughout 2015116 was the new playground project. Rosstulla's playground
facilities are in poor repair and the facilities for the older children are virtually non-existent. We
have engaged with contractors and completed a procurement process and selected a supplier.
We are now embarking on a major fundraising initiative to finance this major project.
We would like to express our gratitude to Greenisland Golf Club who worked tirelessly
throught the year and the highlight was a charity golf day in June. A total of £4120 was raised
and this will be the first deposit in the new account for the playground fund
