School Community Group

If you are looking to get more involved with our school, Takapuna Primary School Community Group (SCG) is a great opportunity to meet other parents and to make a stronger connection with your school community. The group helps bring unity and a strong community spirit to our diverse school. It organises fundraising events to support the school financially in meeting the needs of our students, as well as community events that bring students, whānau and friends together.

There are various ways to get involved with the group, on whatever scale you feel comfortable. You could:

• Attend a SCG meetup for parents and caregivers
• Volunteer at a specific event
• Get involved in organising an event
• Liaise with local businesses on behalf of the SCG.
• Sponsor prizes for SCG events
• Donate food or cash to support SCG fundraising efforts
• Become a member of the SCG organising committee and help shape the future of the group.

If you or someone you know would like to be involved or would like to know more, please contact scg@tps.school.nz or have a friendly chat with Mandy Holten.

End of term celebrations

On the Thursday of every end of Term (last week of term) we celebrate the term together. We have:

• Special lunch treat for children to purchase
• Wheels day (scooters and bikes – with helmets). Children can scoot around a marked track, with lots of teachers out watching them!
• Gold coin donation – non-uniform day

The next day, we finish the term with our full school uniform!
