for things that used to be taken for granted). Organises the annual Community Day in June – a major fund raising event for the School.
FOJORPS raises well over £5,000 each year, all of which is used to enhance the school experience of the pupils in a number of ways. These include increasing the provision of computer equipment, contributing to school trips, Christmas parties and theatrical performances.
New volunteers are always welcome! Liaison: Adam Mcloughlin Tel 537887.
