PFA
The purpose of the PFA (Parents and Friends Association) is to organise events, primarily so that parents can meet each other socially, but also so that they can work together to make enough money to fund items for the College.
The committee is made up of a small number of very dedicated parents.
Chairperson – Mrs Janet Hollins
Treasurer – Mrs Sandra Henry
Secretary – Mrs Mary Burchill
900 Club – Mrs Cathy Hatch

The Modern Languages Department (£12,000);

Highlights from 2009-10
The Christmas Fair was a resounding success, raising £9500.00. The Academic Hall, Our Lady Corridor, Vaughan Corridor and Refectory were as busy as always. Everybody seemed to enjoy themselves. Thank you to all who helped to organise the Fair, ran stalls or helped in any other way.
Dinner Dance
The dinner Dance held at The Marriott Victoria and Albert in Manchester was also a great success. Over 200 people attended and a great night was had by all. Thank you to everyone who supported this event.
