Thank you to our amazing St.Vincent’s Parents’ Association (SVPA) for the wonderful auction last night. In these challenging times we decided to set an ambitious target of raising £30,000-and we beat this! Thank you to everyone who contributed-this is amazing!

Some special thank you mentions are needed:

  • Thank you to our wonderful SVPA Chairs, Julie and Shana who have worked tirelessly to continue the good work of the Parents’ Association, finding new ways of working to fundraise for the school whilst also bring our parent community together. Every year there new ideas such as the lovely Party Boxes which added to the socialising celebrations.

  • Thank you to Fiona, who worked so hard to prepare for the auction, taking on this responsibility during a pandemic is admirable!

  • Thank you to George, our auctioneer, who talked to us all for hours, encouraging the bidding and keeping us all hugely entertained.

  •  Thank you to Alice and Bob who kept track of all the finances and managed the behind the scenes elements of the website.

  • Thank you to everyone who donated lots or collected bids (including past pupils and parents).

  • Thank you to everyone who joined us on the night, placed a bid or made a donation.  We appreciate that these are difficult times and are astounded by your generous support.

This was our first virtual auction and although it was a great success (thankfully without any technical glitches), we cannot wait until we can all be together in person again for such events.

The money raised last night will be used to further improve the school environment (in summer 2022 we hope to upgrade the courtyard) and to enrich the curriculum. As soon as restrictions are fully lifted we hope  to return to maximising the opportunities and to provide our children with memorable real life experiences. We cannot wait!

Thank you again to our St.Vincent’s family!!
