Who are Friends of Litchard Primary School (FOLPS)?

Friends of Litchard Primary School (FOLPS) is the school’s Parents, Friends and Teacher Association (PFTA). The aim of the PFTA is to raise funds to purchase resources, equipment and put on activities outside the normal school budget that enrich the learning experience for all children at the school.

FOLPS’ fundraising activities support the following annual activities:

- Funding towards school trips to minimise costs for parents/caregivers.

- Buying every child at the school a small gift from Santa who delivers them to classrooms in his trolley sleigh.

- Funding the food for children attending the Year 6 Camp Craft event.

The PFTA also purchase resources for the school, for example in the past, FOLPS has bought the wooden pirate ship play area and the wooden castle in the nursery playground.

We rely on volunteers to help with our fundraising activities and events. Our committee are all volunteers and anyone can lend a hand: parent, caregiver, grandparent or friends!
