Many thanks to the parents and teachers who attended the PTA AGM on Tuesday evening. Unfortunately we are short of two key PTA Committee positions. At present we have no Chair or Secretary. Without people in these roles, we cannot function as a PTA, and will not be able to organise fundraising events such as the Christmas and Summer Fayres, Cake Stalls, Quiz night etc. The money from these events over the past two years has funded the school’s iPad sets, the new traversing wall soon to be erected in the yard, and many smaller things such as the children’s Christmas disco, and the circus skills workshop.

Several members of last year’s committee have been re-elected, but we need at least two new parents /guardians to join this year in order to run the PTA. The roles could be shared (eg two joint chairs, which has been the pattern for the last few years). So we’re asking for anyone interested to please contact us ASAP on our email (below), or have a chat with Beth Spear (mam to Lily – 1C) or Sally (mam to Carys – 2C and Rhian 4C) on the yard. We are very fortunate in Gwaelod-y-Garth that so many parents, grandparents and guardians help out at all our events, which makes the committee’s work much easier. We do however need to fill these important rolesbefore the next PTA meeting on October 7 in order to prevent the PTA from collapsing.
