Meetings

PTA meetings are held approximately twice a term, usually in the evenings and our aim is for them to last no longer than 1 hour. Meeting time and venue is listed in the school calendar and school newsletters.

Meetings are open to everyone and your input is always welcome.  They are a great opportunity to hear what is happening at school and to meet other parents. If you come to meetings it doesn’t mean you will be given a job.

There is a small committee which consists of a Chairperson, Secretary, Treasurer and Classroom Coordinator organiser.

Classroom Co-ordinators’ Role

*  Welcome new families to the school
*  Provide a source of general information about school (e.g.  parking at both sites)
*  Organise events for parents and/or families to meet and catch-up
