Whanau and Friends of CQS
Previously the Whanau and Friends were known as the PTA. As the role evolved a new name to best reflect the group was established in 2020.
The 'CQS PTA' was established mid 2013 with the purpose of being a liaison between school parents, teachers and the Board of Trustees. A major function of the Whanau and Friends is fundraising to cover the shortfall between school income (voluntary donations and government funding) and expenditure for the services the school provides. The deficit differs from year to year but it is often in the vicinity of $45k pa. The BOT recently increased voluntary donations and it is likely they may increase again in the following years. However we are sill left with a significant shortfall.
The Whanau and Friends of Clyde Quay School is a parent driven organisation working to benefit all of our children. We are a group of energetic parents excited to be part this important group. Please consider joining the Whanau and Friends as we would love your input in continuing to make the school a great place for our kids to learn. Meeting dates will be posted in the school newsletter and on this page. No previous experience is required!
If you are interested in finding out more please see Helen at the office, or contact any of the current Whanau and Friends members.
