Expenditure
The PTFA has subsidised purchases for picnic benches across the school, outings and equipment for students to use in the various school departments.
We fund resources and activities which provide enrichment and further development opportunities beyond the standard provision of the national curriculum.
We also have funds set aside for the school pool refurbishment – ready for when it is needed.
Membership
We would like to make best use of skills and resources that we undoubtedly have in the parent community – you are all automatically members of the PTFA.
We are a friendly bunch with children of different stages in their Langton adventure. The PTFA provides a rewarding insight into the achievements and opportunities enjoyed by the students.
We help each other in the daunting journey that can be secondary school.
Your are warmly invited to attend any of our meetings and events. These are advertised in the school’s Friday email and on the parents Facebook page.
There are a variety of ways you can get involved, from engaging with social media activity, attending meetings or volunteering or help coordinating events. Other ways to get involved include donating preloved items, raffle prizes or suggesting ideas for improvement.
There seems to be a myth that if you get involved you will never be able to escape! Come to our meetings to just listen and learn, or take a more active role – it is up to you.
We hold an Annual General Meeting (AGM), usually in April, the Chair, Treasurer and Secretary positions are up for renewal then.
