Events and Fundraising
We hold two major fundraising events each year:The Food Fair and Auction (Gala) in March and the Fertiliser Drive in August. Using the funds from these and other fundraisers we contribute annually to curriculum needs. Some of the latest contributions were for digital cameras and computers.
The PTFA hosts and provides for the end of year mass and graduation.
Or pupils and staff celebrate the end of each year in some way e.g. Movies or a picnic. This is funded by the PTFA.

PTFA AGM

This is to be held in the staff room at 7pm on April 21 which is the first Wednesday back after the holidays.
We desperately need a few new faces on this committee so please bring a friend and come join us.
