St Fillan’s PTA is a very active group whose aim is to promote the well-being of the pupils in the school by providing interesting activities both educationally and socially.
Please note this school year 2025 - 2025, we are merging the PTA with the Parent Council into one new parent committee. This newly formed group will meet to cover both areas.
We would be delighted for any new members to join our new parent/carer group - please speak to the school office or email parentcouncilstfillans@yahoo.com

With traditional fundraising opportunities limited, we wanted to provide a way that Parents and Carers can continue to support our local school to help them make a difference in our children's lives.

- Christmas Discos for all classes (partial funding)
- Treasure Chests for all classrooms
- Sport equipment
- Easter Eggs and Easter Competition for all pupils
- Communion Gifts for P4 children
- P7 Leaver’s Disco
- P7 Leaver’s T-Shirt
- P7 Framed class photograph
- Sport Day
- School Trips (partial funding)
- Library Update
- Cycle Proficiency
- Outdoor Picnic Tables
- Cash donations to all classes for craft material
The PTA has been involved in many practical ways, as well as in the important field of fund-raising. The main fundraising events/activities over the last few years have been:
- Christmas Dinner Dance
