Parent Teacher Subcommittee 2011

WHAT IS THE PTS?PTS_logo.jpg

Victoria Avenue School has an active Parent/Teacher Subcommittee(PTS). The PTS is always keen to welcome new members and provides a forum for your ideas and gives you the opportunity to meet other parents and be more involved in the school's activities.

The PTS has three main aims:
1. To encourage involvement in the school and foster a sense of community.
2. To provide funds for the "extras".
3. To improve and maintain the school environment.

Meetings are held monthly on a Tuesday evening at 7.30 p.m. in the staff room.

We welcome all parents to PTS and BOT meetings - these are advertised in the newsletter. The PTS is a subcommittee of the Victoria Avenue School Board of Trustees.  Each year it is necessary to fundraise for our school to enable us to offer the best educational environment for our children to enjoy and benefit.

WHAT DO WE DO?

The PTS committee support the school in many different ways. 

Primarily we fundraise for the school.  The money contributes towards the main objectives the BOT have for the school for the year.  The events we will organise this year include the school Gala, children's discos, selling chocolate Easter Eggs, sausage sizzles and a parents' Quiz night.  For the full calendar of events, see below.

We also love to "friend-raise".  This means working within the school community to have fun and enjoy being part of the school's organisation.  We help to organise the Family Picnic at the start of the year, the New Entrant morning teas, Halloween, Grandparents' day and more.

Members of the committee are also involved in various projects around the school, such as the Gardening Working Bee, the school website, Resource Making and the school uniform.
