Senior PTA

PTA News & Events

The St Catherine’s Senior School PTA has had a busy term once again.

The term began with the PTA AGM in September where Dr Eileen Boye was voted in as the new PTA Chair. Helen Zagoraiou stays on as Vice-Chair and all the other committee members will remain the same for the next year. Please see the committee members list below. 

Before the meeting began, the Reps enjoyed a Thank- you Drinks Reception in the new Culinary Space. It was lovely to have a first view of the space where PTA funds had supported its development. We were privileged to have a festive drinks and canape demonstration by Mr Philip Friend. 

The U3 Curry Supper followed a week later. This is always a joyous, relaxed evening as new parents get to meet each other in their Houses over a curry and glass of wine. 

On the 24th November, the boarders beautifully decorated the Christmas Tree in preparation for St Catherine’s Day, and enjoyed some mulled apple juice and a Christmas biscuit. 

The festive season is upon us and the term culminates with our Christmas Ball on Saturday, 3rd December. Preparations are in their final stages and we look forward to welcoming over 100 guests from our parent community for a festive start to the Christmas Season. 

Upcoming Events:

Upcoming Events next term are the Fourth Form Supper, the Quiz night and a PTA Lecture. Please look out for those dates. 

Getting involved
Thank you very much, to all, who have signed up to our “Willing Helper’s” lists. We are looking for more volunteers to help in the Second-Hand Uniform shop and someone to take over as Treasurer on the main committee. If anyone is interested in getting involved with the PTA, please let us know by contacting seniorpta.chair@stcatherines.info. It’s a lot of fun and doesn’t have to be time-consuming. 

Second Hand Uniform Shop

The Second Hand Uniform Shop generates additional funds for the PTA from the sale of preloved uniform. This is run by a dedicated team of parents and provides an invaluable service to many. For opening times, terms and conditions and latest news please follow this link:

PTA Structure

Every parent and teacher is invited to be a member of the PTA and a voluntary annual subscription is collected along with the school fees each year. The committee is composed of parents and teachers across the school, supported by a network of 60 class reps.   Being on the committee really is a fun and rewarding way to meet other parents and be more actively involved in school life.
