Priscilla Thatcher —

We held our AGM last week, and we’d like to congratulate our new and returning officers.

  • Renee McKellar, Chairperson

  • Jen Cox, Secretary

  • Natasha Lipsey, Treasurer

  • Shelley Kennedy, Vice Chairperson

Thank you for volunteering, we appreciate your service!

Attached is our annual report, so you can see what your support has enabled us to do this year.

  • Friday Iceblocks - are back! $1 popsicles, $1.50 juicies. For sale after school on Fridays, beside the big tree. Since parents are currently discouraged from coming into school, we will also sell ice blocks outside the gate in the church carpark. Please wear a mask and social distance.

  • End of Term Lunch - Wednesday 8th December. Sausage Sizzle. Order forms will go out this week. Orders are to be back in by 3pm Friday, 3rd December please. You can order in 3 ways. The kids can bring the paper form into school, with cash, or paid online. You can email a copy of the form to ptg@silverdale.school.nz, and pay online. Or you can use our new Online Store - Go to the school website www.silverdale.school.nz, and under Communication select Online Store. Add items to your cart, and checkout. You can fill in one order for all your kids. Payment details are given at the end of the process.

  • Leavers Dinner - Thursday, 9th December. We farewell our Year 6 students with a sit down dinner.

  • Term 4 Disco - Sadly, this has had to be cancelled, as the Ministry of Education have advised we can’t run large events at this stage.

  • Family Photo Sessions - This has been moved to Saturday, 4th December. All people with bookings should have been contacted about the new date.

  • Social Dessert Evening - Tuesday, 30th November, 7.30pm, in the staff room. Come and celebrate the end of the year with us.


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.
