Fund Raising
We have two major fund raisers a year.
- March: A Quiz Night or Wine Tasting Evening. This is a fantastic social evening and a chance to meet staff and other parents. We approach local businesses for donations of prizes. Raffles and a huge Silent Auction are an integral part of this night. A special committee directs this.
- June: The Lawley Art Auction held in conjunction with the Music Support Committee.
