Chairperson of Fort Hill Integrated College PTA:  To be appointed for 2024/25

 

Fort Hill Integrated College’s ‘Parent Teachers Association’ are a dedicated group of parents, supported by staff, who work together to raise much needed additional funds for the College community through various fundraising activities. Whilst fundraising is a priority in our current economic state with budgets diminishing, the PTA also acts as a support to new parents.

 

Over the years, the PTA has funded many requests by the College for equipment and materials that benefit the students as well as supporting school events locally and abroad.

 

Easyfundraising and our Amazon Wish List continue to be a popular way to support the college.  If you have not yet had the chance to sign up, details are below:
 

All you have to do is:
 

1. Go to: https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/fort-hill-pta/

2. Click 'support this cause' and create an account

3. Choose from the brands to do your online shopping as normal and our PTA will receive a free donation with every purchase you make.

 

In order to further support we asked each subject department to provide a list of items that students require throughout the year, that the school budget does not always allow for.  Our Amazon Wish List is available here.  If you are in a position to support the school in this way, please have a look through.  If you see something you would like to buy, just follow the same process as you would if you were ordering something for yourself.  Items will be delivered directly to the school, marked for the attention of the relevant department.

 

PTA funds have supported the Magic 5 initiative, purchased a defibrillator for our Sports Hall, as well as subsidised the end of year group Reward Celebrations.  We have just recently purchased a College Football Kit.  In all these ventures we acknowledge and appreciate the support of the Board of Governors, the Principal, staff teaching and non-teaching, parents, pupils and friends of the school.

 

While most of the funds collected by the PTA go towards school related agendas, we also support local charities. In recent years Stepping Stones, Disability Sports and Autism NI, and Macmillan Cancer have all benefited from contributions donated by the PTA.

 

We would encourage you to become involved in the PTA, bring your ideas or suggestions to us and join our committee.  New members are always made most welcome.

 

We have already started to make plans for exciting fundraising activities for next academic year and would like to invite new parents/guardians to our team. If you could please complete the form attached here to show your interest. https://forms.gle/bpkgoGiUjMMagF2i7
