What is the PTA
The PTA (Parent Teacher Association) is a group of supportive parents and teachers who come together to plan fundraising events and activities in order to provide or update extra equipment, resources or special activities for the students in the school. In 2010 our focus was to upgrade the computer technology in the classroom while in 2011 our focus is on raising funds for a much needed new playground.

How can you support the PTA?
There are lots of ways you can help us throughout the year...

• Support the events and activities run from time to time by turning up and bringing your family – events like the Trivia Night, Art Auction, Family Fun Day are great opportunities to come and have some fun while raising vital funds for the School at the same time.
• We are always looking for prizes or giveaways for events – if you work in a company that could donate some products to us, we would love to hear from you.
• You are more than welcome to join the PTA either by taking part in our monthly meetings or simply signing up to be called on to physically help when an event is on, this could be staffing a stall or simply helping with the clean up. All help is appreciated.
