PARENT TEACHER ASSOCIATION (PTA)

Matua School is fortunate to be supported by an active parent group. Recently the PTA has contributed funds for a pool upgrade, ICT equipment, curriculum resources and website redevelopment by various fundraising events throughout the year. These include the Twilight Gala, Annual PTA Quiz night, Entertainment book sales, and numerous fun nights like Andrew Newton Hypnotist and movie nights.

They also support the School Council with events like the Disco.

The PTA also organise and sell second hand uniforms through the “Second hand Uniform Shop” in the hall.
