Our PTA works enthusiastically and tirelessly to raise funds for our school and to enhance our children's activities and experiences during their time at the school. The Committee and parents meet regularly to discuss ideas for events to raise money for school improvement priorities. The ONLY way these wonderful events can happen is because of YOU. A huge 'thank you' to everyone who has helped us so far.
So we can continue and indeed grow, the facilities and activities for our children, we are always keen to welcome new faces to help organise the above events and more. We meet around 6 times a year to discuss and arrange events. These are social meetings, usually held in the evenings in the Hare and Hounds or the Silver Hind. Alternatively, we meet at the school during the day. Ad hoc meetings also happen to suit you. Future meetings are listed below. All parents are warmly invited to attend; we look forward to seeing you.
If you can't attend the meetings but are interested in getting more involved or are able to spare a couple of hours to help with events listed below, the FOSLSS team would love to hear from you. Email us at foslss@st-lukes.hants.sch.uk Alternatively, come along and support our events throughout the year.
Once again, FOSLSS will be running our second hand uniform sale. Thank you for all your generous donations over the last few years. Going forward, we only require uniformed items of clothing with logos such as jumpers, P.E. tops and polo shirts. All other items can be donated to stepupsafespace.com in New Milton who welcome contributions.
We will be holding our first ever film night in the school hall! This will happen across two showings. KS1 will arrive for 4.45pm for hot dogs and popcorn and the film with start at 5pm. KS2 will come along at 6.30pm for their hot dogs and goodies and 6.45pm start. The choice of film will be top secret, but it would be wonderful to see as many of you there as possible (in your onesies and PJ!s). Keep your eyes peeled for a form which will be emailed soon.
In a change to the usual set up, this year, we would like to invite as many Dads and Grandads as possible to help with the wrapping, so that we can keep it a nice surprise for the Mums.
Back by popular demand, the (now) annual FOSLSS Easter Egg Hunt - children will be required to come into school with £2 on the day and they're guaranteed to find an egg.

As we emerge from the pandemic, FOSLSS are currently planning to pay for extras for children, for example, additional workshops, visiting authors, pantomimes, plays for children to enjoy! We are now also looking to replace our existing minibus, as it is coming to its end of life! We will need approximately £15,000 for another minibus and FOSLSS are contributing £10,000 towards this. As a result of having a minibus, children in school are able to attend sporting events and other extra curricular activities.
