Gala countdown-things we need

2018 ST MARY’S GALA COUNTDOWN

Each year the St Mary’s Parent Teachers Association, PTA, hold a school gala as our main fundraiser for the year.  All monies raised at our gala are given to St Mary’s school for the benefit of our children.  This year we are raising funds to go towards the remodelling of our classroom areas for the new junior school initiative.

To help keep our costs to a minimum, we encourage our school families to bring items to school each day in the weeks leading up to the gala.
