The Welcome Bay School PTA is a group of parents who are an integral part of the Welcome Bay School community. They are responsible for fundraising and social activities within the school community. They normally meet at 5-6pm a Wednesday evening, twice a term (usually week 3 and 7). There will be one formal meet at School and one informal meet at a PTA member’s house. Please check our school calendar for dates.

At each meeting current and future activities are planned and discussed. Examples of events the PTA organise are: Family Picnic, School Discos, Kai Days, Frosty Fridays and also passive income opportunities through the Entertainment book.

During our meetings, we discuss and plan a variety of current and upcoming activities. Our events include popular student favourites like School Discos, Frosty Fridays, and Kai Days, alongside community gatherings such as Family Picnics. We also manage ongoing passive fundraising.

Funds raised in recent years have gone towards: new shade sails, a Junior School Playground, a School Van, new Gazebos and a Wheels Zone (MTB tracks, Bike tracks and a Pump Track).

The PTA is always eager to welcome new members! You don’t need to attend any/every meeting; even helping out a single event is a huge support to our school community.
