Paparoa Street Parent Teacher Association (PTA)
The PTA is a group of parents and caregivers who work closely with the school leadership team to organise community events, offer services and undertake a range of fundraising activities to enhance out children’s time at Paparoa Street School.
Our current strategy is to Connect, Fund and Improve.
Everyone is welcome to join to PTA. It is a great way to meet others in our school community.
Chair: Ammie Lawry
Treasurer: Penny Barry
Secretary: Sophie Lapsley
PTA Meetings.
PTA meetings are held once a month in the staffroom at 6.30pm.
One of the Senior Leadership team (Dy, Paula, or Katherine) attends and provides a report on current happenings within the school and any wish list items the school needs/wants at the time. A representative from the Board of Trustees attends each meeting and provides an update from the board.
Everyone is welcome to come along. Meetings are a great insight into the inner workings of the PTA, decision making and ideas regarding community connection, fundraising, and supporting our school.
