HVS PTA

What is the PTA?

The PTA (or Parent Teacher Association) is a way for parents and families to come together to support our children and school.

We like to work on projects that are fun and exciting for the kids, bring the local community together, and fundraise for items that will help inside and outside the classroom.

What does the PTA do?

In the last couple of years, the PTA has:

Fundraised for a new sun shade for the middle playground and facilitated donations for a new PE shed roller door and new table tennis tables
Hosted family movie nights and a quiz night for parents and friends
Organised a community clean-up event and working bees around the school
Assisted with a Book Week for students

Covid has slowed us down a bit, but we have lots of great ideas - we just need some people power. If you or your children have enjoyed some of the above, please consider how you may be able to assist.

What happens at a meeting?

Meetings are held two to three times a term, and usually take about an hour. We begin with a Principal’s report, which is a great way to hear about everything happening at school, and we then chat through current projects and new ideas.

Everyone is welcome - attend just one meeting, or all, and there is no commitment required.

If you can’t attend meetings, just get in touch and we can find another way to keep you up to date and involved.

What can I do? What skills are needed?

All sorts! You can join as a member and take up a role that suits you on one of our projects, or just help out when we need a spare pair of hands to flip sausies or pass out ice blocks.
