£2,000 Donated From PTA Funds To Help Purchase New Stage

We were particularly pleased to announce we had reached one of our main objectives in the last school year which was to raise enough money to help purchase a new stage. Due to your support of PTA events and generous spending we were able to reach our target and with some money to spare as well! This impressive piece of equipment was sorely needed as the stage blocks were well over due to be retired. They had put in over twenty fives year service and were beginning to show their age. It was becoming quite a task to manoeuvre these blocks and they were limited in what they do. Now the school has a state of the art professional looking stage. It is much more versatile, easier to construct and takes up a lot less space and will be an asset for the school for many years to come.
The Juniors were the first to try out the new stage and it was well received by the actors. It is more versatile and allowed for quite a few props to be added and with the stage being higher it allowed a better view of the performance for you the audience. It also has a cat walk and full disabled access and it will be used for other events beside the two yearly plays.
