January 2005 - Substantial Donations to School from PTA

COMPUTERS
During the recent PTA meeting (minutes available here) it was brought to everyones attention that Mr Rai has purchased 30 new computers for the School.
It was felt that a decent computer suite is needed to attract children to school.
Also that having a suite which enables every child to have access to a  computer to use which may not have in home environment is worthwhile.

After being put to the vote it has been decided to give £16,500 from PTA funds to fund the computer purchases, on the condition that there is adequate support in place to ensure the maintenance of the equipment.

So the new IT suite may well become know as the "PTA - I.T. Suite"

ARTS WEEK
Also at the same meeting, Mr Maccadum discussed the forthcoming 'Arts Week', which was considered a great success last year. It is to be repeated this year, 28th Feb to 4th March 2005.

This time the school is looking for more outside help to widen the event, and to help fund this the PTA agreed to give £1100 of funds towards Arts Week 2005
