PSA News
At the last PSA meeting at The Moon Inn, Ben produced a very informal agenda to see if it helped with our meeting. The general feedback was yes. Going forward, he will be providing an agenda for everybody to see before a meeting the items we will be discussing.
Meeting Wed 16th October, 8:00pm, Garway Moon
Agenda will be:
- Financial update
- Discuss the structure of the PSA, its governance and management.
- Minibus
- Upcoming Quiz
- Halloween Event
- Fireworks
- Other business
The other business is for anybody to contribute to at the meeting. If parents/staff are not able to attend the meeting, they can ask someone to raise a point on their behalf.

These lovely people will be there to provide all your PSA info and for you to share any ideas, offers of support or feedback you might have. Our aim is to get the whole school community involved as much as possible. This isn’t only about raising money for a minibus. This is about creating opportunities for everyone to come together and raise as much money as possible to support all aspects of school life to benefit all of the children.
We have a number of PSA events taking place over the next few weeks for you to get involved with, either by attending, volunteering to help or donate prizes.
