Friends of Waihopai

We extend a warm welcome to all parents and caregivers of children new and old to our school.

 Our aim, as a PTA, is to encourage interaction between parents, teachers and the community.

 We are also responsible for some fundraising for specific purposes within our school during the year, the most recent being:

• Confidence Course located on the back field
• Classroom mid-winter and Christmas Activities
• Sound system, storage shelving and curtaining for the school hall
• Blackout curtains for classrooms with whiteboards
• Year 6 camp subsidy

 Our most recent fundraiser was the selling of chocolate bars, which raised funds for another interactive whiteboard.

 We run Barbecues every Friday lunchtime and School Disco’s during the year.

 The Executive Committee consists of:
Chairperson                   Gill Young                       
Vice-Chairperson           Anna Stewart-Bell          
Secretary                       Marlana Longman            
Treasurer                      Donna Johnston    

 The committee consists of parents who attend the open monthly meetings, the Principal and Staff representative.
