From the Manadon Vale Primary School
The Friends of Manadon Vale School is a registered charity that was founded in 1988 to help the school with extracurricular activities that the Local Education Authority would not typically fund. Every penny raised鈥攎ore than $5,000 last year鈥攊s used only for the benefit of the students at Manadon Vale Primary School. We run fundraising activities all year round, which allows us to buy the school a vast variety of supplies. The Christmas Draw Evening, Quiz Nights, Secret Santa Present Evening, and more recently a Talent Show and a Bake Off have all been part of our events over the years. For excursions outside of the school, younger students should wear high visibility jackets. Come to our next meeting if you would want to join/help us on a regular, or ad-hoc, basis. Information will be available on our Facebook page and in the Friday Flyer.
