PA CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION and 2025 roundup
This year’s PA Christmas celebration was a wonderful success, bringing Olavian families together in a cosy, fun, and festive atmosphere. The venue was filled with laughter, conversation, and a genuine sense of community as parents and students came together to enjoy the evening.
The festive spirit was truly alive, and it was heartwarming to see families relax, connect, and share in the joy of the season. It was a memorable event that perfectly captured the warmth and togetherness of the Olavian community.
Meanwhile, last week’s Second Hand Uniform sale was a great success and raised a fantastic £194! A huge thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, and snapped up items — your support means so much to us.
If you have any good-quality uniform you’d like to donate, please mark it FAO: Parent Association (PA) and drop it off at reception. Thank you for helping us keep this going!
