Getting involved in the PTA is easy. Just  come along to our monthly meeting and consider supporting any initiatives that might be undertaken. The PTA is a great way to meet other parents, too.

The PTA meets on the third Wednesday of every month from February to November, with the AGM set down for May. 

Some of our initiatives during the last two years include:

• organising and supporting the annual Setagaya school visit
• providing the supper at ‘Music by Candlelight’
• providing afternoon tea for the Aoraki Cross Country visiting athletes
• arranging for a range of seminars on ‘cybersafety’.
• supporting parent evenings on NCEA and Charter and Strategic Planning
• granting over $10,000 to projects that have benefited the school community
• providing a Year 7 barbeque and nibbles for the ‘Meet the Teacher’ evening held in February 2010
• providing tea/coffee on ‘Parent Interview’ evenings.
