Welcome:
Parents and Co is not just for parents at Waiheke Primary School, it is for anyone who wants to see the school thrive, and our children get the best of start in life.
We have some serious objectives, but we have some great fun pulling together, and creating some really great events:
· Raise funds for projects/goals that will benefit our children’s education
· Provide a communication link between home and school
· Support & promote parent/teacher education
· Encourage whānau involvement in all aspects of the school community
Two of the campaigns we keep supporting throughout the year are:
· Parent volunteers / police vetting – if you want to volunteer to help with any of the school activities working with the children, you need to be police checked. We cover the cost of the application. Just fill in the form, and take it in to the office to be processed (along with two forms of ID). Please allow about 3 weeks for the process. You can pick up a hard copy of the form in the school office, or you can print it from here. https://www.police.govt.nz/advice-services/businesses-and-organisations/nz-police-vetting-service/forms-and-guides
· Givealittle page – we need more LSAs (Learning Support Assistants / teacher aides) at our school, and for just $25 you can make a real difference by funding an hour of their time. Read more about this essential service, and find out how you can make a difference: https://givealittle.co.nz/org/waihekeprimaryneedsmorelsas
· Hardship Fund - If any families are in need of financial assistance for school commitments, such as sports trips, stationery or uniforms, help could be just a conversation away. Please reach out to either P&Co (Lucy 022 637 6246) or our Principal - nick@waiheke.school.nz
