PTA Meetings
PTA meetings are generally held on the third Monday of each month at 7 pm in the school staffroom. Look out for the notification via the KNS App. All parents/caregivers/whanau are welcome to attend these meetings. We welcome new members, additional support and fresh ideas. It is a fantastic way to meet new parents and caregivers within our school community. There is no obligation to join. Your support in any way is most welcome.
We are always looking for additional support with events – if you can help when required or have other services/goods to donate for prizes etc we would love to hear from you too.

Fundraising
Every year as a PTA we actively fundraise in order to provide not only additional educational extras for our children but also assist in the all-round environment our children are educated in.
Areas the PTA has supported to date:
- Contributing to classroom wish list items
- The enhancement of playground areas
- Landscaping around the school – shade, seating
- Supporting school groups, basketball, code club, end of year productions.
Providing this support is vital to the school and running successful fundraising events relies on the support of parent volunteers.
