The Parents & Friends of Portadown College are in the final stages of planning a Christmas Fayre, taking place on Friday, 6th December, from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM.
This much-anticipated event due to be held at the College will be an evening filled with crafts, gifts, and festive treats, all aimed at bringing our community together in the spirit of the Christmas.
Since its formation in 2022, ahead of the College’s Centenary celebrations, the Parents & Friends group has been dedicated to enriching the College community.
Comprised of volunteers including parents (both past and present), past pupils and teaching staff, their mission is to support and grow both curricular and non-curricular activities for the benefit of the students of the College.
The Christmas Fayre will not only provide a fantastic opportunity to pick up unique gifts and enjoy delicious festive treats, but it also serves as a vital fundraiser for the College.
The group supports various initiatives such as pre-loved uniform sales, sports teams, arts events, and career development programs. Over £4,000 has already been reinvested into Portadown College.
Portadown College, affectionately known as ‘PC’, is a cornerstone of the local community, deeply rooted in its history since 1924. With a century of commitment to academic excellence, the college has established itself as a beacon of learning and personal development in the Portadown area.
