The association organises social events, discos and fairs to raise extra funds to help supplement the school budget, purchase additional equipment and pay for those little extras that make school a special experience. All parents are automatically members of the PTA (there is no membership fee). The committee is elected at the annual general meeting. We always need additional helpers, so please don’t be shy. For some examples of how the PTA has supported Black Firs please see our school newsletters and ClassDojo. We do have a Black Firs PTA Facebook page but we are in the process of updating this.
