Our Parent’s Association work together to help support the school community and enhance students’ educational experiences. PTA donations are voluntary contributions used to provide equipment and services to the school.

The Parent’s Association is always looking for parents and whānau to join their group who give so generously of their time to the school. However, if you cannot donate your time, the donation of $30.00 is a wonderful alternative to support the PTA and the work they do.
