Our school has a very strong support base from parents involved in our PTA.  The PTA (Parents & Teachers Association) is a committee, which serves the school and community through social and educational activities that will encourage unity and harmony.  The committee plays an integral role in fund-raising ventures which benefit the school and the children. 

The committee is a wonderful way to put some positive energy into supporting Whakarongo School.  Meetings are held regularly during the term.  If you would like to be involved in any way please contact the school office at  office@whakarongo.school.nz
