PTA News

Welcome to the Hukanui School PTA!

We’re delighted to welcome all new parents and whānau to our wonderful school community. The PTA is a group of parents, caregivers, and staff working together to strengthen connections between home and school while supporting exciting projects and events for our students. As a parent or caregiver of a current student, you’re automatically part of the PTA.

Our recent projects have included building the outdoor classroom, installing a new table tennis table and basketball hoop, and helping fund discretionary programs like Matific and Jump Jam. But to keep making a difference, we need volunteers—many hands make light work!

How You Can Get Involved

Help at Events – We organize fun activities like donut day, the school disco, and second-hand uniform sales, and we need volunteers to help on the day. There is no on-going commitment, just let us know you’re available, turn up on the day and you’ll get a job to do. Join our mailing list by emailing hukanuischoolpta@gmail.com, and we’ll send requests for helpers ahead of events.

Attend a Meeting – Our meetings, held about twice a term in the school staffroom, are where we discuss upcoming events, decide what projects to fund, and get updates from the school and Board of Trustees. If you’d like to be part of the conversation, come along— we promise there is no pressure, and no assignments! Meeting dates are available on our Facebook page, or email us to find out when the

next one is.

Join the Committee – Our voluntary committee ensures the PTA runs smoothly, handling finances, meeting agendas, and making sure we meet our obligations under our constitution and as registered charity. There are several different roles available, and they can require as little as a couple of hours a term. Committee positions are voted on annually at our AGM in March, but if you’re interested, we’d love to hear from you anytime!

If you have any questions or just want to connect, reach out via email or join us at a meeting—we’d love to have you involved!
