What your organisation does
Our PTA is made up from a supportive and committed group of parents/carers and school staff. All parents/carers are welcome to join, with some elected to committee positions. The Thompson PS PTA fundraises through the organisation of a variety of school and community based activities and events. These include our Christmas Fair, Pumpkin Patch
and Colour Run. In addition, we operate a range of other fundraising activities throughout the academic year. Funds raised by our events go to the school to support the education and wellbeing of our pupils. PTA members also support our school by providing hospitality at school events such as the Open Night.
