The Halswell School PTA is a friendly group
of parents and caregivers who work alongside
the teachers and board to help create an
even better experience for our tamariki.
We organise fundraising events, community
activities and volunteer programmes that
bring our school community together while
raising funds for projects that benefit our
children.
Whether you have an hour to spare, can help
at an event, or would like to join the
committee, we’d love to hear from you.
Everyone is welcome at our meetings; there’s
no obligation, just a chance to see what we’re
working on, share ideas and hear from our
Principal, Stuart Cameron, about any
upcoming developments.
In recent years, PTA fundraising has helped
support:
● School camps
● Hauora Fund
● Sports equipment
● Classroom resources and equipment
● The new Ahuriri playground (current
fundraising focus)
Follow the Halswell School PTA Facebook
page for updates and how we’re tracking
towards our current fundraising goals.
The PTA coordinates:
● Weekly Tuck Shop
● Sausage Sizzle
● Walk/Wheel Wednesdays
● Discos
● Pizza and Iceblock Days ● Fundraising e.g. calendar art and quiz
nights

Meeting Dates
Meetings are held twice a term and are
relaxed, friendly and usually last around
an hour. Come along, meet other parents,
hear what’s happening around the school
and see if there’s a way you’d like to be
involved.
Upcoming dates are published on the
school calendar and start at 7pm in the
staff lounge.
Hauora Fund
Each year, the PTA generously donates money towards a fund to help students access school-based activities and events that may otherwise be out of reach due to financial hardships. This is known as the Hauora Fund. If you would like to find out more about how the Hauora Fund can support your family, please contact our Finance Officer, Rebecca Lock.

Are you overwhelmed, time poor and have an anxiety attack when you see a hero notice from the PTA or your child brings raffle tickets home that you are asked to sell!
We know not all whanau are in a position to participate in the fundraising activities, but would like to contribute.
If you would like to give a monetary donation to the PTA this would be very appreciated.
