Autumn Party for Forms 1-6

The Autumn Party is always an exciting event and as last year proved to be such a success, we will again be holding a party for children from Year 1 upwards only. In order to maximise the space and fun the children have, the party will be a drop-off party again and the children will be looked after by school staff and parent volunteers.

The party will be on 4th November 2011, 6.30 – 8.30pm.

The children can look forward to:

• Disco
• Good food
• Activities, crafts and face-painting
• Fancy Dress

This is a great event for the children and an important fund raising event for the GPA. We hope that lots of you can come along.

To purchase tickets, complete this form and give to Sue, and if you are able to help please specify – don’t forget to add your contact details! Feel free to email us with offers of help as well.

GPA meeting

Our first GPA meeting of the year! Everyone is invited, come along if you have a chance. It’ll be held at 4pm in room 3T – the first classroom on your left when you enter the front door of the school. We try to alternate times because everyone has different schedules. If you can’t make this one but would like to come, keep an eye out for the next one in the evening.
