Great News

The Class Reps idea is really taking off. We now have 10 volunteers but are still looking for more. We currently have gaps in P1A, P2B, P3B, P6 (both classes) and P7A, so if you have a child in any of these classes and are interested in becoming a class rep, please contact the PSA at towerbankpsa@gmail.com.

Becoming a Class Rep

Becoming a Class Rep gives you an active role in helping to make the PSA successful and can help you get to know parents across the whole school.


We ask that you try and attend PSA meetings whenever possible and volunteer to help out at PSA events of you are able to. You would also be feeding back any ideas to the PSA Committee and telling other parents/carers about activities the PSA are doing.


If you would like to be a Rep for your child's class then please contact us. We can have as many Class Reps in each class as possible.

PSA Meeting

Don't forget the next PSA meeting is next Tuesday 23rd March at 7.30 in the Dalriada.
