PTA AGM Promo

1/5/2025

The PTA contribute to a lot of the ‘extra’s’ that all our Ngaere Tamariki benefit from. 

Highlights from the March meeting – just to name a few:

• Agreed to fund a student/youth mentor for 2025 to support some of our students struggling with learning disabilities, grief, and trauma.  
• Agreed to fund a “Writers Toolbox” pilot for Term 2 which the teachers believe will boost our students’ writing skills.
• Agreed to donate a nominal amount to each of the teachers to help cover the little extras they buy for their classroom like baking ingredients or stickers (our wonderful teachers usually pay for this out of their own pocket).
• Agreed to fund $1500 for subsidising core winter sports fees.  Fees seem to be rising each year and we feel that it is important to reduce the barriers to participation.  The money will be allocated across all school winter sports teams/players and subsidised from your invoice.
• Organisation for the junior athletics lunch sale.
• Improving the maintenance of the pump track.

Upcoming agenda topics:

• Funding of school camps.
• Pet Day planning
• Fundraising calendar

Our current bank balance is $21,000. 

What ideas do you have to utilise existing funds or growing what we have?

It’s not just another boring committee! 

Reasons for you to be a part of the PTA:

• Get to know other parents,
• Opportunity to find out how the school runs and what is going on,
• Give back to your community,
• Help shape the experiences your kid(s) get whilst at school.
• Not just a group of gossiping mums!  The current committee is friendly, effective but low-key.  We are keen to see new faces, skills and ideas.
• Meetings are approximately 1.5hrs.  Usually 7pm in the staff room, every 6 weeks or so.
• You won’t get lumped with a scary job and casual meeting attendance is no problem.
