In 1987 the school’s P. T. A. was officially formed, although prior to this an association was in existence – though less formal. As a parent with a child at Londonderry you are automatically a member and there is no charge for membership. Parents and teachers form a partnership for the benefit of every child in school. At this school the bond is very strong; a relationship which is the envy of other schools in the area.

Among its aims are the following:

• to raise funds for the school

• to foster an interest in the school by serving on the Committee

• to organise events for pupils’ enjoyment

• to organise events too enable parents to socialise

As the years go by more equipment has been provided for the school. Fund raising events include – School Fairs, Discos, Cookery Demonstrations, Fashion Show, Ladies Night, Family Quiz, etc.

Each parent should feel free to take part in any or all the activities and perhaps allow their name to go forward at the Annual General Meeting.
