PSA Fundraising and Events
|
Back to School BBQ At the beginning of each new school year we hold a popular BBQ event in the school playground. It is a great opportunity for old families and new to meet while enjoying some tasty food and a well stocked bar. |
|
Fireworks Night This is our most popular annual event, with tickets selling out in record time every year. As well as enjoying a fabulous firework display, food, drink and novelties are available to buy. |
|
Christmas Fair Held in the school playground the Christmas Fair is a busy, festive event packed full of stalls, competitions and rides for the children. Carols are sung and raffle prizes won, Father Christmas joins us too! |
|
Summer Fair Our main event of the year, St Agatha's Summer Fair is one for the diary. This is the PSA's biggest annual fundraiser with plenty of rides, food stalls and entertainment, an excellent way to spend a sunny afternoon. |
|
Parents v Staff Pub Quiz Another great event, hugely popular with both staff and parents. Held in a local pub, this night is not about fundraising but a fantastic opportunity to bring St Agatha's community together. |
| Summer Social Less about fundraising and more about socialising with fellow parents! Always a fun way to bring the school year to a close |
| Raising Money Online Shopping The PSA has accounts with Amazon Smile and Easyfundraising. Amazon Smile offer donations of 0.5% of the purchase price on all goods bought online. All the major retailers, including Sainsbury's, John Lewis, Argos, Tesco and Clarks, participate in the Easyfundraising scheme. Donations vary from retailer to retailer, but can be as much as 4% of the purchase price! Simply follow the links below to get started. https://smile.amazon.co.uk/ch/106349-0 https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/stagathaspsa Once set up, it is easy to download the apps to make shopping more convenient! From time to time many of the retailers will offer additional discounts or special offers. Your weekly online grocery shop with Sainsbury's can be done through Easyfundraising too, all funds raised going straight back into the school. |
| Cake Sales Every class holds at least one cake sale over the academic year. These are organised by class representatives and all funds raised go straight back to the teacher, who, together with the children decides how best to spend the proceeds. |
| Book Fair and Book Club Over the school year we run book fairs in the playground with Scholastic Books. A great range of books are displayed for parents and children to browse through. Three times a year we also open up the Scholastic Book Club when parents can buy books in time for Christmas, Easter and the Summer holidays. The school earns up to 25% commission on sales which we collect in the form of Scholastic Rewards, helping the school to earn free books! |
| Uniform Sales Recycled uniform sales are held every half term, with each item significantly reduced. Please donate your unwanted, good quality uniform to the school office (St Agatha’s School uniform only please). |
| Recycling Mobile Phones/Ink Cartridges Money is earned when we recycle these items. Please bring your old mobiles and cartridges to the school office. |
