Parents needed

for the PSA

CALLINGTON Primary Parent Staff Association (PSA) are in dire need of a few more parents to regularly attend meetings.

The meetings are currently poorly attended and therefore they are not able to provide the extra help for the fun activities the PSA organise - such as discos (there has to be enough helpers at the discos to comply with Health and Safety law in case there is an emergency).

The PSA at Callington Primary School exists to support the children and staff, providing activities for children and families which are fun, stimulating and raise money for the school. They have recently elected a new chairperson - Lorna Sharp.

If you are interested in becoming a PSA member contact the school for more information on 01579 382233.
