Agenda& Discussion Points

  1. PSA functioning
  • A quick discussion on PSA functioning and to be a sounding board to the school and to help with suggestions.
  1. Road Condition
  • The road condition outside the school is a cause for major concern and inspite of attempts to reach out though various channels, there has been no response from government bodies.
