2. Bishops Down PSA June 2013 update PSA Personnel Changes We are very thankful for all the hard work Mel Joyce has put in as Chair of the PSA. At the end of the Summer Term Mel will be standing down and handing over the role of PSA Chair to Helen Jones (current Vice Chair). We wish them both well. The above change creates a vacancy for Vice Chair and also for a co-ordinator for the Christmas Fairs. If you are interested in either or both roles please speak to a member of the PSA or e-mail bishopsdownpsa@hotmail.co.uk.bishopsdownpsa@hotmail.co.uk Finance notes During the last academic year the PSA donated an impressive £13,593 to the school. This included £1,448 for digital cameras for each class, £9,455 for 15 brand new computers in the ICT suite, £500 for the School Council, £1,030 towards building the bridge in the woods and £300 on the end of year celebrations (bouncy castle & circus skills training).
