About the PTA

Welcome to the Halswell School PTA. We are a group of representative parents that work alongside of the teachers and Board of Trustees to help achieve a fantastic learning environment for our children. Every parent within the school community are informal members of the PTA, so feel free to come to our meetings, as and when you can.
We encourage parents to view the meetings primarily as a forum to gain an understanding of how the school is governed and any important developments taking place. Our principal, Bruce Topham reports on relevant topics of interest for our school and a selection of teachers give presentations on their specific areas of involvement
We aim for our meetings to be a relaxed platform for parents to learn and openly discuss current developments.
For those parents who wish to be more involved, we organise fundraisers to purchase specific items within the school. In the past we have contributed to some awesome equipment in the Art’s Suite, a portable flag with school emblem on, to the upgrade of the school website, badges for Year 8 leavers, classroom and sports equipment.
The committee is responsible for the co-ordination of the school Tuck Shop, Road Patrol, Community Support and Sausage Sizzles.

The Following services are run by volunteers.  If you would like to be involed, please contact the coodinators listed below.  Generally you will be required to help out once or twice a term.
