Parent Teacher Association (PTA)
The PTA is a group of enthusiastic parents who meet regularly to organise fundraising events to provide resources for the school that are not covered by the school's operating budget.
Often PTA fundraising provides additional equipment and assistance towards larger projects for the school which ensures we maximise the opportunities we offer our students. The PTA supports the school to organise various events and provides the manpower to assist with these events, including Agricultural Day and working bees to help maintain the school facilities. This support helps the school to hold larger events for our students and local community to participate in.
The Board (BOT) is the governing body of the school and the PTA operates under their position. All resources purchased and events organised are to support the BOT achieve the Vision and Strategic Plan of the school.
Our current PTA Committee Members are:
Chairperson: Jo Kavermann
Secretary: Victoria Nair
Treasurer: Harland Sinclair

SEEDS OF SUPPORT
We are running a fundraiser for the month of July, with Kings Seeds ‘Seeds of Support’ for schools and early childhood centres. We have distributed order forms to all our families, which detail all the seeds available for purchase. It’s similar to the Oxford Pies form, and a similar concept with us receiving a percentage of each seed pack sold.
There are seeds for vegetables, herbs, flowers, and an organics range. We hope everyone will sell as many packs of seeds as they can to family members, friends, work colleagues and neighbours. All funds and orders must be back to school by Thursday 3rd August 2023. More copies of the order forms are available from the school office.
