What is the PTA ?

At Bishop Challoner Parent and Teacher Association (PTA) we aim to:

• Encourage closer links between home and school.
• Support the school by fundraising and holding social events.  Funds raised by the PTA help provide the school with additional equipment/ resources for staff and students to enjoy.

How is the PTA  Organised?

• Parents/carers and staff of Bishop Challoner School are automatically members of the PTA and everyone is welcome to attend PTA meetings or to help out whenever they are able.
• The PTA committee is made up of a Chairperson, Treasurer, Secretary and Ordinary members.
• Meetings are held every 4-6 weeks. New members and ideas are always welcome.

Activities the PTA have Organised

• Trip to JJ’s for Year 7 & 8 Students
• Film Night for Year 9 Students
• Refreshments for Presentation Evenings
• Refreshments for Mock Interview Evening as part of the school’s Careers programme

Items Funded by the PTA

• Camping equipment for Duke of Edinburgh Award
• Artist to work with students who produced an Art installation commemorating the school’s 40th Anniversary
• Crosses for the Pope Francis Wing

We welcome new ideas and suggestions, please, please help support the PTA and the school in anyway you can.

All help is greatly appreciated!
