PTA News

Sarah-Jane Haywood —

The PTA has had it's first meeting for the year, and we have some exciting things on the radar ...

It is our mission as a PTA to support the school, and help foster a great sense of connection within our wider school community. We do this in a variety of ways such as fundraising eg. sausage sizzles, second hand uniform stop, running events such as the recent quiz night, and physically being there to support staff where and when we can. And we have a lot of fun doing it.

If this sounds like your cup of tea, or you would just like to find out more, come along to a meeting, or contact pta@merrin.school.nz

Joining the PTA is a great way to meet other families, make some new friends and support our Merrin whetū Kohara (shining stars). If you are new to Merrin School or think that you have some time to support the school this year, we would love to see you. 

Our next PTA meeting is on Monday 11th March at 7pm, in the staffroom (by the office). Come and check it out and meet some of the amazing people that are involved. This meeting is our AGM and we have some important roles becoming available that might interest you, that of secretary and treasurer. We would love to see some new faces 😀

Change of date: Our first Sausage Sizzle of the year has been moved to Friday 23rd February due to the Yr 7/8 Amazing Race taking place this Friday. Many apologies for the change. We will be selling yummy sausages for $2 each. (No cookies this time round). Orders will be taken before school on Friday (from 8.30am), Sausages are then cooked during the morning and are ready for students to enjoy at lunchtime.
