What your organisation does

The Portadown Integrated Primary School PTA regularly organises a number of events over the course of the school year to raise funds to be given to the school to provide equipment and financial support for school activities. These events not only support the purchase of physical items that enrich the learning experience of the pupils, but provides

opportunity for the children to mix socially outside of the classroom environment which further supports the ethos of integrated education.
