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
900 Club – Mrs Cathy Hatch
In the recent past, the PFA has raised money for:
Duke of Edinburgh expedition Equipment (£10,000)
The Modern Languages Department (£12,000);
New school minibuses (£12,500);
The installation of a new kitchen at the playing fields (£1,900)
New Changing Rooms (£20,000)
In 2008 the parents raised £12,400 towards the cost of a new Grand Piano for the Academic Hall.
The PFA has donated £5000 to the Chemistry Department, this was towards the purchase of Nova Data Loggers.
New Nativity Figures (£800.00).
Highlights from 2010-11
The Christmas Fair was a resounding success, raising £7846.00. 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.
