Who are we?
The Friends is a registered charity set up to raise funds for the school in order
to provide the “extras” which would not be available within the normal school budget.
What do we do?
During the school year the Friends organise a variety of events for children and
parents. We keep parents up to date with these events and how we have spent the money
by a regular newsletter sent home with the children.
Our events have included Christmas
and Summer fairs, quiz & curry nights, children’s discos, antiques night, casino
night, food tasting evenings, make up demonstrations…
We also provide tea and coffee
after Mass or celebration every Thursday morning in school, sell refreshments after
the Infant Christmas plays and ice-lollies on sports day. We also hold a very popular
weekly cake sale in Year 1 classroom every Friday at 3pm for which we have a baking
rota, each class taking their turn to provide the buns.
How do we use the funds raised?
Look around you in school and the Friends will have bought many of the things you
see. Window blinds, music stands, laminator, sports equipment, playground equipment,
computer equipment, computer chairs, whiteboards, books………the list goes on and on.
All of these would not have been possible without assistance from the Friends.
And
all of it would not be possible without the support of you, the parents.
How can you help?
We rely on your support by giving, buying, helping and attending. Watch out for our
monthly newsletter for details of events.
Thank you in anticipation and we look forward
to meeting you at our events.
