PTA
Welcome to
the Ashgrove School Parent Teacher Association (PTA). We are a very active
group of parents and staff representatives, including the Principal, Board of
Trustees (BOT) representatives and teachers with the primary function of
fundraising for the direct benefit of the students, teachers and school as a
whole. In March of each year we hold an Annual General Meeting, where the
election of Chairperson, Assistant Chairperson, Treasurer, Deputy Treasurer,
Secretary and Deputy Secretary is conducted.
We have held
many fun activities for children and families to take part in, both at school
and at home, with the aim of fundraising for any extra needs in the classroom
and school grounds that the government budget does not cover. Some of the
activities / events we have held include a Gala, quiz night, discos (the
childrens favourite!), mufti days, personal calendars, sausage sizzles, raffles
and many many more.
Over the past
few years we have contributed in many ways: providing whiteware in the hall
kitchen, curtains, sound and lighting for the hall, library shelves, sports
equipment and uniforms, monetary gifts to each classroom for Christmas
activities, shade sails, sandpits, digital cameras to each classroom, data
projectors installed through 7 classroom, 'wishlist 2009' - teachers were given
the opportunity to ask for donations from us for extra equipment needed, with a
total of $20,000.00 given from the PTA. Most recently we contributed to
the upgrading of the junior playground. We are now looking to raise money
for basketball back-boards and installation in the hall.
We hold our
meetings in the staffroom at 7.30pm, on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. You
are more than welcome to attend a meeting if you would like to contribute in any
way - whether it be a single visit, or if you would like to join us each month
for the PTA meetings. We welcome all new members with enthusiasm!
New faces' brings new ideas!
