Thank you to all the parents who have helped at events this term - we really couldn’t do it without you. Next term we’ve got our Quiz Night in February/March which will be open to all parents and Year 5 to 8 pupils. Wishing you a Happy New Year!. Claire and Lindsay, JPA Chairs. The penultimate day of term is a fun time at APS! Colourful festive jumpers replaced uniform, and soon our annual ‘Gifts for Grown Ups’ mall was open for business for pupils to shop for presents for their families - and pets too! A huge thank you to Lindsay, Claire and the JPA elves for helping run such a successful event. Year 8 made way for Pre-Prep to eat a delicious and tasty Christmas lunch in the hall, taking their lunch in the Art room. The afternoon was full of parties and was capped off by the Year 7 Business Tycoon Mini Market, masterminded by Alison Thomas, where an array of stalls selling biscuits, flapjacks, popcorn, and smoothies proved very popular. Thank you to all the Year 7 parents who supported the childrens’ activities and making the treats. The profits will go to our school charities. What a wonderful way to end the term! A MESSAGE FROM YOUR JPA THE JPA ELVES - THANK YOU!
