Friends of Carterton Primary School
Friends of Carterton Primary School
A Friends of is a group of volunteer parents and teachers who work together to make their school a better environment for children to learn. They raise extra funds through a wide range of fun and creative initiatives, events, and much, much more. They are also known as a PTA, PTFA, or better still, Superheroes!
As a parent of a child at Carterton Primary School, you are automatically a member of the group. this means you are able to attend meetings, vote for the committee and help us come up with ideas and events to raise money for the school.
We have a (very) small committee and would like this to grow. Positions of Vice-Chair, Co-treasurer, Communications are all still vacant. Do get in touch if you'd like to be more involved.
How to get involved
We're always keen to grow the group and welcome help and support from the whole school community. If you can give an hour of your time to help out at an event, or perhaps bake a cake for a sale, we'd love to hear from you. Some of the roles can be found on this page.
We promise we're a really friendly bunch and try to make each event fun for the volunteers as well as the children.
