Our PTA is very active at Halcombe School and organises a variety of activities to support our school and encourage parent participation. The PTA undertakes fundraising and supports school functions in a variety of ways. PTA-run events such as the Gala and Quiz Night bring in valuable funds for school resources such as the environmental area, computers and ICT equipment, library resources and technology resources.
The PTA meets throughout the year - see the newsletter for meeting dates. The PTA Executive is confirmed each year at its AGM (usually in Term 1). Parents/caregivers are welcome to join the PTA committee and attend meetings at any time during the year.

“Friends of the PTA”
We have a “Friends of the PTA” group of parents that we can call on for extra help. This might involve providing afternoon tea for a school event, helping with classroom tasks, providing support for families in need, or collecting things from town. Please come join us! Contact the Office for details. We’d love to know that we can call on you.
