Parent Involvement

Parents are an integral part of our school community. We encourage, and are heartened by parents being involved in their children's education. There are many ways to do this, including...

Asking your child about what they are doing at school what they enjoy and what they are getting better at.
Having informal chats with the class teacher before and after school.
Offering to help with visits, special activities, sports or regular learning support.
Viewing classroom displays, class newsletters or blogs.
Helping your child solve problems which may arise at school. (This is different from fixing things for your child - it means teaching children how to be resilient, independent, "emotionally intelligent" and using positive mindset.)
Sharing the setting of goals with your child and class teacher, so that the focus is on continual improvement.
Showing that you value education, and believe that learning is important, fun, and fulfilling.

Our PTA

Ōuruhia Model School's PTA is all about fostering relationships between pupils, teachers and the community. The PTA organises fun events for the children, and raises funds for important school projects. Parents are all automatic members of the PTA and are invited to be a part of any meetings held during the year. For meetings times and places, please check with Raewyn in the office.

Our PTA page is on our school website here.

Class Trips

For child safety, parents supplying transport must be licensed and have safe, warranted vehicles with adequate seating, seatbelts and booster seats if applicable. Parents should take special care when driving with a car load of children.

All parents providing transport must complete an EOTC Volunteer Agreement Form. This form will be sent to the parent from the teacher leading the event.

Working Bees

Another way in which parents/caregivers can assist the running of the school and reduce costs is by assisting in working bees for example, painting the pool or equipment, trimming trees, tidying grounds. There are a few of these each year, so please make an effort to turn up at the time and day advertised.

If parents have special skills or general areas of competence that they think maybe useful, and are willing to help the school, please advise the Tumuaki/Principal.

School Fundraisers

Where the school undertakes fundraising activities parent help and participation is appreciated.
