Fathers day secret room Juniors

Get ready to surprise your dad with a special gift this Father’s Day! The PTA is thrilled to bring back the much-loved “Secret Room” event, where children can select a gift for their dad in a fun and exciting way.
Here’s how it works:

Children can purchase a ticket in advance to attend the “Secret Room” event.
On the day of the event, they will be escorted to the room where they will have the chance to select a special gift for their dad.
There will be a range of gifts available for children to choose from.
Each gift will be wrapped and ready for the children to present to their dad on Father’s Day.

The “Secret Room” event is a fantastic opportunity for children to show their love and appreciation for their dads, while also supporting the PTA’s fundraising efforts. All proceeds from the event will go towards important projects and initiatives that will enhance the education and well-being of our students.
So, mark your calendars and get your tickets now to make this Father’s Day truly special. Don’t forget to keep the event a secret from your dad until the big day!

Fund-raisin
2023-04-17 16:00 - 2023-04-28 16:00
On the 17th of April, we’re excited to be sending every child home with a delicious box of raisins to enjoy. But that’s not all – we’re also launching a new and exciting fundraising initiative for our PTA fund. We encourage everyone to make the most of their raisin box by using it to collect loose change and donations.
Once your raisin box is full, simply write your child’s class on the box and return it to the school reception by the 28th of April. The class that raises the most funds will be rewarded with a fantastic prize for every member of the class.
We’re thrilled to be able to offer this fun and creative way to support our school community, and we’re looking forward to seeing the incredible impact that our collective efforts will make. Thank you in advance for your generosity and support!
