The purpose of the PTA is to create a close association between parents and the school.
The main functions of the PTA are:
- to be a representative group of parents for consultation with the school
- to act as a sounding board for any changes in the school
- to keep the Principal aware of parents’ perspectives on school matters
- interacting with the parent community and staff by serving tea and coffee at parent evenings, report evenings etc (as requested by the school)
- bringing the school community together at social events by organising various activities
- running the second-hand uniform sale days
There is very little focus on fundraising – we rather like to consider the PTA activities as ‘fun’ raising events.
