The Committee

The Pre-School is run by a committee of volunteers who act as trustees. Without the dedicated support from parents and the community in these roles the Pre-School cannot operate. We welcome volunteers to be on the committee or to support the Pre-School in fundraising or time. If you are able to help please contact us.

Trustees - Clair Harrison, Chaya Robertson and Karolina Sturgolewska.
