SVP – As in previous years the school is helping the parish to promote the St. Vincent de Paul Annual Christmas Draw with the other primary schools in the parish and the two Gaelic Clubs. We have sent home a book of tickets with every family to sell. (Please note you are under no obligation whatsoever to sell these. If you do not wish to sell these, please return in the envelope provided.) The book of tickets has been reduced in size, a book contains 12 tickets at £3 each or 4 tickets for £10. If more books are required, please contact the school office. Thank you.
Presents for staff at Christmas – The staff at Broadbridge Primary school are mindful of the financial pressures on everyone at Christmas this year. As a school we have always actively discouraged the buying of presents for staff, as it puts pressure on all families to do so. We must insist that no presents are to be bought for staff this Christmas. We will be asking the Parents and Friends’ Association to relay the same message through their various channels. We are very grateful of your continued support of the St. Vincent De Paul draw, the shoe box appeal and the various school functions.
