Reminder Tonight 2021 St James’ Catholic School Gala….

There will be a 2021 St James’ School GALA MEETING tonight  Wednesday 5 May at 6.00 pm in the Staffroom to set up this year’s Gala organising team.

Please consider supporting this essential work. It is a great way to get involved with the school community – you do not have to be part of the PTFA to be involved.

The Gala this year will be a little different to past years – we are trying to simplify it and make it enjoyable for all. It is a great way to get to know each other and support your children’s learning.

We encourage you all to come along and get involved.
