Parent Teacher Support Group

The role of the Parent Teacher Support Group (PTSG) is to plan and organise fundraising activities; a vital role as it is necessary to supplement the Ministry grant. Fundraising is essential to ensure that our students have ready access to the best available resources and technology.

When we meet

The PTSG meets every month, usually on the second Wednesday. If you are interested in being involved in PTSG activities, please contact the school office or email ptsg@tawhai.school.nz.
