Q. How much was raised at the PTA quiz night…

Standard

Answer: The quiz and a raffle made a fantastic £2,777.05!

The St Martin’s school hall was full of happy quizzers on Friday 18 March with the quiz being done on iPads!

And there were some fantastic raffle prizes up for grabs – including return flights to Southampton.

Kerry Hughes, along with other members of the PTA, deserve a special mention for the hard work in organising such a successful event – which ultimately all goes to helping the pupils at St Martin’s primary school.

And a big thank you to everyone who took part in the quiz and bought raffle tickets.

New iPads for the school thanks to PTA fundraising

Standard

Children at St Martin’s school will benefit from 9 additional iPads thanks to fundraising efforts by the PTA.

The school PTA has approved a request for the new iPads and cases after a successful series of Christmas events, which raised thousands of pounds after fantastic support from parents, teachers, friends and children.

Here’s a quick excerpt from the school’s prospectus about the use of technology in learning.

“An injection of new iPads has enabled an increase in the creative use of technology; activities such as film making, QR coding and blogging are taking root in teaching and learning,” it says.
