WE NEED YOUR HELP

Follow POGOs on Facebook.

We have been so overwhelmed with the support and funds raised since POGO were established and we have managed to back many projects around the school with the ongoing help from Parents and Carers.

We need your continued support to ensure the success of POGO carries on!

Your ideas and support would be very welcome and you only need to give as much time as you can offer.

If you would like to help or if you have any fund-raising ideas that you would like to tell us about, please email us – pogogomer@gmail.com or find us on our FB page.

We really hope you are able to support us and the school.
