Meetings
PTA meetings are held approximately twice a term.

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.
