Friends of the Cathedral School
The Friends of the Cathedral School is a committee made up of parents and teachers from the School. They are responsible for organising and arranging social and fund-raising activities. These activities are varied and diverse, including organising the Summer Fete, the Christmas Fayre, student discos and running bars at school productions. Events for parents such as wine tastings, lunches and balls are also organised. Please see forthcoming events below.
Parent representatives from the Friends regularly visit the Student Forums to listen to students suggestions about activities and receive requests for funding.
The Friends meet two to three times per term to assist with the planning and organising of activities and to consider requests for funding for monies raised. Recently monies donated to the school have contributed to the refurbishment of the Chapel, purchase of a new minibus and have purchased benches and picnic tables for the school grounds, along with display boards for exhibitions.
An Annual General Meeting is held in the Lent Term and all parents are invited and most welcome to attend. The committee is established for the forthcoming year and a Chair, Vice-Chair, Treasurer & Secretary are elected at the following meeting. The Friends Committee is always open to the ideas and contributions that parents wish to make.
