Clothes Bank & Copper Collection 2017/2018
The Clothes Bank is back open this year, and was a great source of funds for the school last year. We would, again, remind all children, parents, guardians and extended family members and friends that any clothes that they are getting rid of can be sent into the school, and placed in the clothes bank just outside the hall.
The Parents' Association are also continuing the Copper Collection this year, and all children are encouraged to put any old copper coins in the tubs in their classroom. A prize will be given to the class that raises the most money.
