Home & School

 

Home and School are a motivated and fun-loving group of parents and a staff representative whose aims are:

● To provide an opportunity for parents to meet and support the school and each other
● To be active in the planning of school activities
● To be coordinators of social functions
● To organise fundraising activities

Home and School hold fun and lively meetings monthly that are open to everyone. These meetings are a great way to hear about what’s happening at school and are a fantastic way to meet up with like minded parents, especially if you are new to the area and new to the school.

Look out for the meeting details in the school newsletter or on our website calendar.

PADDY’S MART - TE HORO SCHOOL FAIR

Paddy’s Mart is our main fundraiser for the year. For approximately three hours the school is alive with hundreds of people descending on the school from Wellington through to Palmerston North. The city dwellers love the all round country theme and the locals enjoy buying from our stalls and catching up with other locals from the area. Home and School run this event and rely on the support of all the school community. There is a big build–up to the day, and we’ll be tapping our parents on the shoulder for assistance throughout the third term. The stalls comprise of raffles, cakes, crafts, produce, plants, to name a few. There’s face painting, children’s games,
cow–pat bingo, quick-fire raffles, BBQ food and a cafe. It is certainly a fun day for all and an extremely busy time for Home and School and, as the old saying goes, many hands make light work.
