PARENT TEACHER ASSOCIATION

The PTA consists of a group of parents and QPS teacher representatives who work within the school community to achieve the following:

• To help build a strong school community through school and community events.

• To raise funds to spend on essential resources that directly benefit the students and the school.

• To bring home and school into closer partnership.

All parents are encouraged to be part of the PTA. We are always looking for more support, and it's a great way for you to meet new people and stay informed and connected with school happenings.

Some of the events / activities the PTA are involved in are:

School Fair (Term 1)
World Famous Apple Crumble Stall at Winter Festival Community Carnival (Term 2)
School Disco (Term 3 or Term 4)
New parent morning teas

Meetings are held once a month on a Monday evening. We value your involvement and support, no matter how small. You can either join us on the committee, or become a 'Friend of the PTA'. If you are interested in becoming involved or would like information on any upcoming events / fundraisers, please contact :

Myschel Albrecht or Julia Morum at admin@queenstown.school.nz
