Hamilton West PTA

The PTA is a relaxed, social group of families and teachers, who help provide the extras for the school through fundraising and organisation of social events for the students and the school community.

Our meetings are usually held twice a term, usually in week 2 and week 7, in the staff room at 7:30pm. Meetings are advertised in the school newsletter and on the website. 

We appreciate that attending meetings is not always possible and therefore welcome people to join the Friends Of Hamilton West School. During the year there are opportunities to give small amounts of time to help with various fundraising projects or social events. This group provides the extra help as required and as personal commitments allow. 

Becoming involved with the PTA provides you with an insight into your child’s school and the opportunity to have some input into improvements. And it’s a great way to meet other families and make new friends. 

If you would like to join the PTA, or become a Friend of Hamilton West School please contact the school office.
 
Thanks for your support.

Recent Achievements

In 2013 the PTA raised over $20,000 which was used by the Board of Trustees to upgrade our school complex. We think it is great that at a time when lots of schools are retiring their pool, ours is being improved.

At the Graduation Assembly in 2014 the PTA presented a cheque to the Board of Trustees for $20,000 to be used towards providing our students with mobile devices in our classrooms.

In 2015 the PTA is committed to raising $20,000 to go towards the development of an Outdoor Classroom for our students, teachers and community to enjoy.

The PTA enjoys its work in raising funds for special projects and providing the community with social events to enable our community to come together and enjoy each others company.

Recently the PTA, in conjunction with the staff, hosted a very successful Triathlon Picnic. The event raised over $1000 and at the same time provided school families with an enjoyable social event.
