Friends of St. Colman's Bann Primary School Trustees. Annual Report (continued) Year ended 30 June 2023 Objectives and activities The direct benefits that flow as a result of the purposes being carried out is the improvement in educational standards and facilities of the pupils at St Colman's Bann Primary school and better working relationships befween the staff and parents. These benefits are demonstrated through the improvement of results and standards in yearly examinations and found outlined in the school development plan. The intended beneficiaries are the pupils of St Colman's Bann Primary school, the stsff and the parents and the wider local community as a consequence of this. We have adopted the child protection policy of the school as we are aware that although we are not working directly with the children there are risks associated with being linked with the school community- Indirectly each of the members of the group as a parent of a pupil in the school will benefit from the purposes being carried out as each of our children will benefit through the advancement of their education but this is inconsequential. We aim to raise funds for the use of the school for equipment or other facilities or towards the cost of school trips. Our fundraising activities include raffles, Christmas fayre, bingo nights, film night and car boot sales. In the future we hope to be able to apply for outside funding from sources such as the lottery. Our events are run through support and volunteers from parents and others in the local community. Local businesses have also been very helpful when it comes to sponsoring events or providing prizes for raffles. Achievements and performanc8 The Friends of St Colman's group is a PTA group run by a core group of parents and the Principal of St Colman's Bann Primary School. Lawrencetown, County Down, Northern Ireland. The aim of the group is to provide the school with the means to purchase extra resources for the children through fundraising. We normally have one main fundraising event per term and although difficult we try to introduce novel ideas every year along with the tried and tested successful methods. In the winter term we ran a Christmas Raffle and in Spring an Easter Raffle. The year ending 30 June 2023 was the first year since Covid that fundraising events that involved the whole school community seemed appropriate. Thereft)re, in May our ever popular "Bingo Night" returned with the intention to raise enough to purchase a much- needed Interactive White Board later in the year. Also as is now tradition we contributed half the cost of the hoodies for our Primary 7 leavers. The new Academic year will hopefully bring further fundraising opportunities. Many thanks to the Committee, Parents, Mr Tighe and all the staff for their continued help and support. Friends of St. Colman's Bann Primary School Trustees.
