We will be taking part in Dress to Impress’ (non uniform day) on Friday 10th February. You could wear your favourite colour or a unique outfit to express how you’re feeling, it can be as simple or elaborate as you like!
Dress to Express is an opportunity for self-expression and celebrating a diverse range of emotions. The day also provides a great opportunity to be open about mental health and start those conversations.

FOMPS
Our next FOMPs meeting will be held at Rivo Lounge on Tuesday 7th February at 7.30pm.
All are welcome.
We would love to continue to build our FOMPs team up. We are looking for a secretary to join the committee.
We would like to hold some social events, including a quiz, a summer BBQ and our biggest fundraiser 'The Scarecrow Trail' which happens in May every year. However, to run these we need help. We are looking for people who would be able to donate even just an hour to help organise, plan and run the events. Without a few more willing helpers these activities which are enjoyed by the children, parents and wider community alike, will not happen!
We would also love to continue building our FOMPs committee team, the more members the easier it becomes.
If you would be interested in joining the FOMPS committee or would be willing to give some time (no mater how small) to help raise vital funds for the school and provide exciting activites for our children, Please contact us on fompspta@gmail.com or see our Facebook page for more information.
