Parent-Teacher Association

The PTA consists of a group of parents and QPS teacher representatives who work within the school community to achieve the following:

  • To help build a strong school community through school and community events.
  • To raise funds to spend on essential resources that directly benefit the students and the school.
  • To bring home and school into closer partnership.

All parents are encouraged to be part of the PTA. We are always looking for more support, and it's a great way for you to meet new people and stay informed and connected with school happenings.

Some of the events / activities the PTA are involved in are:

  • School Fair (Term 1)
  • World Famous Apple Crumble Stall at Winter Festival Community Carnival (Term 2)
  • School Disco (Term 3 or Term 4)
  • New parent morning teas

 Meetings are held once a month and your involvement and support is valued, no matter how small.  If you are interested in becoming involved or would like information on any upcoming events / fundraisers, please contact : Myschel Albrecht or Julia Morum at admin@queenstown.school.nz
