Hello and welcome to the Bassaleg School Parents and Friends Association (PFA) Web page.The main aim of the P.F.A. is to organise enjoyable fund raising events/projects which benefit the children’s learning experience across all areas of the school and curriculum. By supporting the school through the P.F.A. you can be sure that all pupils in the school will feel the benefit.

FUND RAISERS
We often provide refreshments at school music concerts and parents’ evenings. In July, we held a very successful Garden Party with entertainment, stalls and refreshments which raised over an impressive £700 to fund school activities. We have held successful Quiz
and Curry nights, Cheese and Wine evenings and Ceilidhs which have been enjoyed by parents and children alike! We’d love to
organise more events, but need your support to do so!

HOW YOU CAN HELP US RAISE FUNDS
“EVERYCLICK” - You can help with our latest venture from the comfort of your own home. If you use the internet and/or shop on-line
then you can help us raise funds by using “Everyclick” instead of your usual search engine.

COMMITTEE MEMBERS
The P.F.A. committee is comprised of a small but committed team of parents. Our officers are elected at our A.G.M. each autumn and we hold monthly meetings at the school, usually on a Wednesday evening. New members are always welcome.

MAILING LIST
 Even if you can’t make it to meetings or don’t want to get too involved we can keep you updated with details of our activities via e-mail, simply contact us at bassalegpfa@sky.com to join our mailing list. We are always looking for new fund raising ideas, if you have any, please get in touch.

NEXT ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
As a parent/guardian of a child at Bassaleg School you are automatically a member of the P.F.A. and as such you are welcome to attend our monthly meetings. We would really appreciate your support as active membership is at an all time low – less than fifteen parents at the last count! If anyone is interested in supporting the P.F.A. or requires any further information please e-mail us at bassalegpfa@sky.com or telephone 07921 766771, we’d love to hear from you.

COMING UP
The next PFA meeting is the Annual General Meeting and will be held on Wednesday 16 November 2011 at 7pm in Forge Building.
We’d love to see a good turnout of new (and old!) parents and you’d be assured of a warm welcome! Please e-mail us at bassalegpfa@sky.com or telephone 07921 766771 if you have any queries!

 WANT TO HELP?
There are many ways that you can help us even if you can’t spare much time or don’t want to commit too much. We currently only organize a few events a year (but could do more if we had additional help) and support school events such as providing refreshments at concerts, parents evenings etc. If you are willing to help prior or during an event we would love to hear from you. If you have any connections with local businesses that may be willing to assist or sponsor us in some way please let us know.
