Young Enterprise
Claires Court Young Enterprise teams look like they are heading for a bumper year. Forty eager Claires Court Year 12 students have already signed up for the new programme and their progression into the YE Company Programme proper will depend upon their performance before a Dragons Den team of Mr Bevis, Mr Giles, Mrs Rogers and Mrs Goyal on Tuesday 27th September. This year we are aiming to be YE SWiM Champions and who knows what could happen after that.
PTA
Dear Parents,
A huge thank you to all our helpers, supporters and, of course, the children for helping to make our events so successful. Without the help and support of everyone involved we wouldn’t be able to continue so thank you very much.
However, we continue to need volunteers to run stalls, selling drinks etc, particularly at the upcoming Fireworks Night and Fright Night Disco. Please look out for the volunteer sheet which will be going up in the atrium soon. Even just sparing an hour can be helpful.
MEET THE COMMITTEE
We are a small group of parents and teachers with the aim to raise funds for the benefit of the children at your school. You find out more about us and the roles we hold on the website.
NEW SECRETARY
We urgently need a Secretary to join the PTA to contribute to deciding how to spend funds raised, take the minutes at committee meetings (this is not as scary as it sounds!) and get involved with organising school events. For more information, please contact me on 07793 022828 or pta.ccgs@gmail.com.
Finally, I would like to thank the outgoing Chair of the CCGS PTA, Gail Wheeler, for all her hard work over the last few years. However, I’m delighted that she will still be very involved with the Masquerade Ball next year, which is our biggest fundraiser.
Anna Taylor-West
Chair CCGS PTA
