PTG News

Priscilla Thatcher —

The Parent Teacher Group (PTG) is a group of parents and teachers that work to create fun events for the kids and fundraise for the school. We always welcome new members - we’d love to see some new faces at our meetings. If you can’t commit to meetings but would like to help out at events, please let us know. We especially need parents that can help out during the day occasionally. Check out our current and upcoming fundraisers below.

  • Honeywrap Beeswax Wraps fundraiser - last day for orders this Friday 28th May. Order online at https://forms.gle/5gHJG9pWQDhMBszV8, (pay to Silverdale Normal School Parent Teacher Group 03-1559-0019428-00, use your name and HONEYWRAP as a reference) or bring in the paper order form and payment to the PTG box in the office.

  • Oxford Pies - Our yearly popular Oxford Pie fundraiser is coming up in June. Order forms coming home this week. Orders need to be back at school by Tuesday 22 June, with delivery to school on July 1st.

  • Friday Ice Blocks - We will sell ice blocks this term on fine Fridays. Mini popsicles $1, juicies $1.50.

  • SchoolPickUp - This is a new way for us to fundraise. It's an online shopping platform, where 50% of profits come back to the school. There are heaps of items for sale on here, so check it out. https://www.schoolpickup.nz/pages/silverdale-normal-school

  • Coming up - Pyjama Day - June 21. We would love pyjama donations on this day, so keep an eye out for specials on pyjamas at the warehouse. All donations go to WaiKids at the hospital, which are hugely appreciated.

  • PTG Meeting: Thursday 10th June, 7pm, school staff room. All welcome. We’d love to have you join us!

  • Can you help? We really need a few parents that are available to help occasionally during the day. For example, on the last day of term for end of term lunch, or when we are sorting pies, etc. If you might be able to help, please let us know - email ptg@silverdale.school.nz.
