FONDS (Friends of Newlands School) is the Parent-Teacher Association for Newlands School.
Our prime purpose is to support and enhance the education of all the children by providing the “extras” the school budget cannot afford. We raise funds through events such as the Christmas and Summer Fayres, discos and family nights.
Our aim is to spend the funds as we raise the money.
We have an active committe and always welcome new members. In addition, volunteers are always appreciated for setting up and helping at events. If you have a couple of hours to spare you will be made very welcome. New ideas for fundraising are also welcome – we have a red post box in the School atrium for any comments you may wish to make.
We send out newsletters to advertise our events and celebrate our successes. Look out for these coming home in your child/ren’s school bags.
We hold an annual AGM, in the Autumn term. All parents are encouraged to attend to see how the money rasied has been spent and offer ideas of how we can improve. It is important that our activities reflect the needs and expectations of our families. We are always hoping that our enthusiasm will be catching and prompt you to become a committee member!
