PTA NEWS
Invitation to all parents/caregivers of Junior Syndicate:
You are invited to the AGM of the PTA on the 2nd March. This is an opportunity to meet other parents/caregivers and you don’t have to be afraid that we will give you more work than you already have.
We are all mothers who are over-worked and under-appreciated. What we want to do has been (more or less) planned already. New ideas would be appreciated and a good laugh can just do the thing.
Meeting starts at 7.30 in the DPS Staff room, followed by a cuppa at Blah’s after. See you there. All welcome.
Heidi—President PTA
