The Parent’s Association meeting is taking place at 7pm. If
you would like to have some refreshments and join them,
they are always looking for new members. They are an
invaluable part of our St. Peter’s family and work hard to
raise money which benefits all of our children; from
subsidising school trips to providing new equipment in
school.
